F1 goes ‘Down Under’: Race 3 of the 2023 season in Melbourne

The third fixture on this season’s calendar takes the #f1 teams to Albert Park in #melbourne. This weekend’s

Australian Grand Prix will be the 37th in the history of the top echelon of motorsport and the 26th to be hosted by

Melbourne. Eleven of the previous Grands Prix were held on a street circuit in Adelaide (1985 - 1995). Michael

Schumacher, winner on four occasions in #melbourne, holds the record for the most victories in this event. Lewis


Hamilton has meanwhile won two races at Albert Park (2008, 2015). The most successful team on Australian soil is McLaren with a grand total of eleven victories, ahead of Ferrari on ten. The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS #f1 Team has won the race four times so far (2014, 2015, 2016, 2019). With the track having been reconfigured ahead of last year’s Grand Prix, the fastest race lap (1:20.260 minutes, Charles Leclerc) and the absolute lap record (1:17.868 minutes, Charles Leclerc, Q3) were both set in the previous season. The 5.278 km track variant will be used again this year, complete with four DRS zones. Last year, the fourth DRS zone between Turns 8 and 9 was removed following Friday practice.
