Sebastien Vettel is the race director of the Kitz Charity race day at Kitzbühel Ski Club in Austria. Niki Lauda used to do this charity event each year and now Seb has taken over the duties.The charity race follows the main event which is the Hahnenkamm down hill World Championship which is attended by tens of thousands of spectators. This is one race on my bucket list and will attend one of these years.

The Kitz Charity raises money for the farmers in the remote areas of Tyrol and South Tyrol situated on the Alpine slopes in Austria. This is one community that could disappear after being around for hundreds of years.They are trying to keep the community together by showing support as their farmlands dwindle away as farmers have been selling their land off.The rest of the world is coming to them and the community has changed as it is not as remote as it once was.

Verstappen,Gasly and Albon in this group not thinking about driving in Melbourne just yet.

I think it is things like this that actually show how close the Formula One family really is and even though they have their run ins during the racing season everyone is really fairly close in all honesty.

I had no idea they got involved in this event each year and over the course of the weekend they raised around $200 000 which is great for everyone on the receiving end. I an see it like the last party before everyone heads back to work and the big business of racing from March is just around the corner.

I always enjoy watching the slalom and Super G in the Winter Olympics. I think a lot of people don't realize these events take place every year, not just when the Olympics are being held. Ski jumping is always fun to watch too.
