Renowned for its demanding semi-street layout spanning 5.278 kilometers, the circuit poses a significant challenge to drivers with its bumpy surface and constantly evolving grip levels.

Notably, it stands out as one of the fastest tracks on the F1 calendar, with Lewis Hamilton’s pole lap in 2018 reaching speeds exceeding 235 kilometers per hour.

A Closer Look at the Albert Park Circuit

Spanning 5.278 kilometers around the picturesque Albert Park Lake, this high-speed parkland circuit boasts 14 turns that challenge even the most seasoned drivers. The circuit’s layout underwent significant modifications in 2022, aimed at enhancing overtaking opportunities and overall race excitement.

Among the most significant changes was the elimination of the chicane at Turns 9 and 10, which was substituted with a longer flat-out stretch that now included Turns 9 and 10. In order to enable cleaner racing lines and faster speeds, some bends were also expanded and rearranged, giving onlookers an exciting show.
