The Australian Grand Prix is here, and with four DRS zones penned in for the race, it promises to be a high-speed affair. | Sport24news
Formula 1 returns to Albert Park for the 37th running of the Australian Grand Prix.
The Australian Grand Prix is here, and the Formula 1 season is ready for the third round of what is shaping up to be one extraordinary season. But the racetrack in Melbourne had a unique setup: it would be staged at the city's Albert Park, running through Aughtie Drive and Lakeside Drive, with a detour through the Lakeside Stadium's car park. The Albert Park Circuit was, then, effectively a street circuit, albeit with a slightly different nature to Monaco's - a street circuit the sport had been accustomed to at the time.
Moreover, there will be four DRS zones around Albert Park this year. It was also the case in 2022, but with teams struggling with porpoising , it was reduced to three. Porpoising has been addressed for '23, and the FIA and Race Control are willing to dabble with four zones again.
