About the track
Albert Park in Melbourne is a parkland circuit surrounding a picturesque lake that traditionally opens the Formula 1 season. In 2022, it underwent a major overhaul - new surfacing and a revised corner layout gave it a faster, more flowing character. Wide straights and dynamic direction changes mean cars blast through here with tremendous intensity. This is where surprises often happen at the start of the season, as teams are still discovering the potential of their new cars. The challenge for drivers is the variable grip on street-style surfaces surrounded by grass and barriers. The atmosphere of the season-opening race in the heart of Melbourne attracts hundreds of thousands of fans from across Australia.
