Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit

Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit, a temporary street circuit in Melbourne, Australia, has been a staple of the Formula 1 calendar since 1996, hosting 29 Grands Prix to date, including the season opener for many years. Using public roads around Albert Park Lake, it features fast, flowing sections and close walls, and demands precision and courage from drivers. The circuit is known for its picturesque parkland setting, which turns from a tranquil public space into a racing venue each year. Its early-season date means the races can be unpredictable.
