The Australian Grand Prix 2020 kicks off the new season as all 10 teams race to see who will emerge as the fastest. Everyone will be starting on a clean slate as the top drivers aim to stop Lewis Hamilton from nabbing a 7th title. In terms of the weather conditions for the Australian Grand Prix 2020 weekend, cloudy skies await the drivers. On Friday, the temperature will be around 24°C and the Albert Park Circuit will likely face rain showers. However, on Saturday the temperature is predicted to drop as low as 14°C, with cloudy skies. Meanwhile, race day will see a temperature of 19°C and similar conditions to Saturday. In terms of gunning for a race win, it is anybody’s game as Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull are on clean slates. Last year, it was Valtteri Bottas who drew first blood, ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. Australian GP [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/f1-australian-gp-2018-lewis-hamilton-mercedes-amg-f1-w09-7984904.jpg] HOW WILL THE F1 TEAMS TACKLE THE AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2020 With regard to the tire allocation [https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-what-tire-compounds-have-the-f1-teams-chosen-for-the-australian-grand-prix/] for the Australian Grand Prix 2020, there are plenty of interesting strategies. This season, the teams opted to run the 2019-specification tires. Apparently, when they tested the 2020 spec tires last year, they unanimously rejected the treads. In other words, Pirelli’s [https://www.pirelli.com/global/en-ww/homepage] C2, C3 and C4 tire range will resemble last year’s options. Over the past month, the world has been plagued with the coronavirus pandemic threat. However, it appears that the Australian Grand Prix 2020 will go off without a hitch. Already, the Chinese Grand Prix has been postponed because the country was the source of the virus. According to the latest news, the Bahrain Grand Prix will also run behind closed doors, and will be a televised event. Coming back to Australia though, both the FIA and local authorities were determined to green light the race. The fans have already spent a lot of money on tickets, and closing the doors on them would be an utter travesty. Luckily, the authorities have been taking extra precautions for people entering the country. This is largely with regard to foreigners flying in from Italy, which is the second most affected country.

<h2><strong>Australian Grand Prix - 2021 Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track</strong></h2>
The Australian Grand Prix technically originated in 1953 at the Albert Park Circuit, and Doug Whiteford took the win. However, it was a non-championship race, and the Australian Grand Prix was not integrated until 1985 in Adelaide. Williams driver Keke Rosberg became the first Australian Grand Prix winner in the F1 championship.

The first F1 championship winner at Albert Park was Damon Hill in 1996, again for Williams F1. Since then, Formula One has been a regular visitor in Melbourne. It is also worth mentioning that the Albert Park circuit has been the season-opening race, 21 times out of 24 races.

The 2021 event was originally scheduled to open the season in March but has been moved to November due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions.
<h2>Effect of COVID-19</h2>
The Australian Grand Prix was supposed to kick off the 2020 Formula One Season. However, the race down under was called off before it could really take off. The Pandemic meant a delayed start to the F1 season, with Albert Park, unfortunately, missing out on the 2020 calendar.

Since 1996 it has been held at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne every year, with the exception of 2020 when the race was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

<h2><strong>Australian Grand Prix Circuit Details </strong></h2>
The circuit utilizes parts of the public roads surrounding the Albert Park Lake. The road sections were rebuilt ahead of the 1996 race to ensure consistency and smoothness. This is where the Albert Park circuit differs from other street-going circuits.

The track itself appears fast and relatively easy to drive. The drivers have even praised the circuit for being easy to learn and achieve competitive times. However, the flat terrain around the lake, coupled with a track design that features few true straights, means that the track is not conducive to overtaking.

Each year, most of the motorsport infrastructure is constructed two months ahead of the Grand Prix weekend. Following that, they are removed within six weeks.

The land around the circuit has restricted access during that entire period. However, there usually is some amount of dissent from local residents. Nevertheless, the event is reasonably popular in Melbourne and Australia.
<h2><strong>Australian Grand Prix Tickets</strong></h2>
Tickets are mostly available on the <a href="https://f1experiences.com/2021-australian-grand-prix" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">official Formula One website</a>.
