The Albert Park circuit has been upgraded since the last grand prix with an emphasis on designing a track that will encourage overtaking.
Hamilton has been on pole in seven of the last eight races in Melbourne, but it looks unlikely the Mercedes champion will be able to pull off the feat again. The track has also been resurfaced for the first time since the grand prix was first held in Melbourne in 1996. There have been three DRS zones in each of the opening two races this season, but the Australian Grand Prix will have four zones. The wider corners and the removal of the Clark chicane aims to address these problems and give fans more of a spectacle. The most notable change to the circuit is the removal of the Clark chicane, which used to be turns nine and 10. Formula 1 returns to Melbourne for the first time since 2019 for round three of the championship.

No one's smile was bigger than Daniel Ricciardo's as F1 rolled into Melbourne to signal the return of racing at Albert Park for the Australian Grand Prix.
It means the maximum speed in the pit lane could be boosted by 20kph to 80kph – and that gives the strategists a few more options for the race. Now it’s into a section of the track that’s significantly quicker, with drivers hoping to get a tow out of Turn 6 and through 7 and 8 and down the now kinked back straight that no longer features a chicane. Then it’s onwards to Turn 6, which sees one of the biggest changes on the circuit – and one Ricciardo says he’s particularly looking forward to sampling in the car. Usually, he could do without – but this year, it was a must given organisers have not only made seven changes to the layout, but they’ve also widened the pit lane and completely resurfaced the venue for the first time since F1 started coming here in 1996. Turn 1’s corner entry has been widened by 2.5m, in a bid to create more racing lines into the turn. Melbourne Walk, a pedestrian path treaded by the drivers and F1 personnel towards the paddock entry, was packed with fans in full voice on Thursday – and there wasn’t even any F1 track action on the schedule.
This weekend, Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton and the rest of the F1 driver's lineup will take the grid in search of glory. Things have changed ...
For once, the Pacific timezone has an advantage with earlier starts. And Verstappen is trying to defend his world title from resurgent Ferrari. Things have changed greatly since the last Australian Grand Prix in 2019.
