Melbourne and #formula1: twenty years of history
Melbourne – Around the time Europe is waking up, the Australian paddock is already buzzing. It was twenty years ago that Melbourne’s Albert Park first hosted a #formula1 Grand Prix. Since then, many things have changed, but the atmosphere “Down Under” is still special: curiosity, excitement and the desire to do well. For Scuderia #ferrari, it’s an opportunity to greet many fans who have Italian roots, given that today, around 70,000 emigrants from our homeland are now part of the fabric of the Victorian capital. “We will give it our all” is the Scuderia’s mantra going into a weekend full of unknowns: those range from the weather, given that Wednesday’s heat is due to make way for rain during free practice and maybe even on Saturday, to new regulations which allow for a greater choice when it comes to tyres, not to mention a qualifying format which has never been used before. In the red garage, the mechanics are hard at work preparing the two #sf16h cars. #sebastianvettel and #kimiraikkonen have arrived in the city and are currently rediscovering the Albert Park paddock. It will fall to Seb to make the first public appearance of the new season, when at 3pm (5 in the morning in Europe) he will be on the panel for the FIA press conference.
