About the Circuit
The Albert Park Circuit winds around a picturesque lake in Melbourne's inner suburbs. After a major redesign in 2022 that widened corners and removed chicanes, the circuit became significantly faster with more overtaking opportunities. The smooth surface and mix of high and low-speed corners make it an excellent season opener that rewards car balance.
