The Albert Park Circuit has undergone a number of changes since F1 last held a grand prix in Melbourne in 2019, all of which are aimed at improving overtaking opportunities. Chiefly, the Turn 9/10 chicane has been removed to pave way for a fast, flat-out section, while several corners have been widened to allow more cars to run next to each other. In addition, the entire layout has been reprofiled ahead of this year’s race.
It is hoped that the changes made by the Australian Grand Prix Corporation will address some of the criticism the circuit has received over the years, especially in the wake of grand prix cars getting longer and heavier (and hence less nimble) for street venues.
