Melbourne is all set to welcome back F1 after two years. The city will host a Formula 1 race for the first time in what seems like ages. With 130,000 spectators expected to be in attendance, the Australian fans have clearly missed F1 in their country. The race which is set for April 8-10 might see some fresh changes due to the weather. However, nothing can be confirmed, as nature is always unpredictable.

Australian GP might see some raindrops
Albert Park Circuit will see smiles like none other when F1 fans arrive. The street circuit will cherish every inch of this because of a deadly Covid-19 engulfing the Australian land for a long while. Measures had to be taken as the GP did not happen for two full years. The Grand Prix that was once used to inaugurate the season was not even part of the calendar for 2 years.

A new weather report might just put the twist on the season. There is a light rain expected on Sunday in the late hour. Though this time the risk of rain thrashing the race is low, they can say it with no certainty.
Drivers often face such situations and drive despite the dangers. However, many accidents can occur in this state.
Fans look forward to their favorites
Slight rain is always tolerable, but heavy rain can always ruin a race. Last year saw Britisher Lando Norris facing a deadly crash during qualifying at Spa. Drivers could also be heard constantly complaining about the track situations and warning ahead of time. Authorities failed to listen until Norris couldn’t overcome the aquaplaning and thrashed into the walls spinning twice.

Daniel Ricciardo is always a home favorite. While his Woking team McLaren struggles immensely, we do not expect the driver to give up. He’d be looking forward to turning in a brilliant performance despite the conditions. Moreover, the Albert Park Circuit has always had the most enthusiastic crowd, which makes everything better.
