Local Heroes and International Stars: The Story of the Australian Grand Prix

The Australian Grand Prix steeped in F1 history and drama is set to take place at Melbourne’s Albert Park Circuit from March 22–24, 2024. Initially held in Adelaide for its first 11 appearances, the race moved to Melbourne in 1996. Notable facts about the Grand Prix include its role as a battleground for championship glory and its record-breaking attendance in 2023.

Legendary driver Michael Schumacher holds the record for the most wins at Albert Park, while Lewis Hamilton boasts the most pole positions. The 1994 race saw Schumacher controversially clinch his first world championship title after a collision with Damon Hill. Despite passionate local support, Australian drivers have yet to secure a podium finish at their home race.
