As expected, the decision to cancel the Australian Grand Prix did not please local fans. The organizers promised to return the full cost of tickets to the stands, but many spectators flew in from other countries, no one compensates the costs of air tickets and hotels.
Many are outraged that the decision to cancel was taken at the last moment, so they did not have time to warn about it, who on Friday morning came to Albert Park and saw the closed gates of the circuit.
“Before heading to the track, I checked the news,” Australian Brisbane fan quoted Australian ABC as saying. “The irony is that at first the organizers allowed people to walk in front of the closed gates for several hours, and then announced the cancellation of the stage because of the risk of mass events.
“My son and I came to the race for the first time, but now we just spend a few days in Melbourne,” says another Queensland fan. – In the morning we read the messages that the race may be postponed, but a minute later a message appeared that everything will be held. We went to the track, but no one was allowed out of the gate. This attitude is annoying. ”
“I’ve been coming to this race for twenty-five years in a row,” says another fan. – I am extremely disappointed. If they wanted to cancel the race, this should be announced at the beginning of the week. “
Due to the abolition of the Australian Grand Prix, money was lost not only by the fans, but also by the business. An angry man who introduced himself as Greg, said that his company spent a lot of money inviting his business partners to the Grand Prix: “We are talking about six-figure sums. The decision to cancel was made by incompetent people. ”
