Also new is that from 2023 both Formula 2 and Formula 3 will be active during the Australian race weekend. During this year’s race, in March, a staggering 419,000 fans came to Albert Park over three days. The first Grand Prix in Melbourne dates from 1996. In the coming years, the pit lane and paddock will be renovated, among other things.
The Australian Grand Prix was the season opener for many years. This year it was the third race of the season. The season will probably not open in Australia in 2023 either. A start in Bahrain, just like this year, seems a more realistic option. Other cities were also interested in organizing the race, including Sydney, but the new agreement puts an end to all uncertainty.
