F1 Australia Grand Prix History

Though the Australian Grand Prix has been contested ever since 1928, it only became a part of the FIA Formula One World Championships in 1985.

Keke Rosberg won the first Formula One event in Australia, back when the location of the race was in Adelaide.

Move to Melbourne

In 1996 the race moved to Albert Park in Melbourne, and British driver Damon Hill romped to victory in the first event held at the track.

The inaugural race at the track was one that certainly attracted attention. In the very first lap of the event, Jordan driver Martin Brundle had a massive crash. Indeed further safety concerns came to the fore when in 2001, a volunteer marshal was killed after an accident.

In 2002 Rubens Barrichello and Ralf Schumacher collided, and the accident led to 11 of the 22 cars in action having to be eliminated before the first lap had been completed.

Fernando Alonso's 2006 victory came after four safety car periods. Lewis Hamilton managed a podium finish on his F1 debut in 2007, in a race that Kimi Raikkonen won.

German legend Michael Schumacher holds the record for most Formula 1 Australia Grand Prix wins, picking up victories between 2000 and 2004.

Albert Park Circuit Guide

In 2022 over 400,000 spectators crammed into Albert Park to see the Formula One grand prix, which is a testament to the size of the occasion.

The circuit in Melbourne includes public roads but also incorporates elements more in keeping with dedicated racetracks, and that mix helps to make the race one that is exciting from start to finish.

The race is considered one of the fastest races on the calendar, and the venue has many great seating areas with grandstands offering great views of the action dotted all around the track.
