Mick Doohan, unforgettable five-time champion of the 500 has not been seen at Phillip Island, but is absent is justified: it is with his son Jack in Lonato for the international finals Rok Kart.
"I kept it away from the motor sports for a while- admitted Mick - but the kart is a lot' safe than motorcycling. Sport is important for the guys, any sport, teaches you to control the emotions of life , the ups and downs. Obviously Jack is 13 years old and dreams of F1, maybe in a few years he will want to play basketball, would be less expensive! ".
