The 2022 season of Formula 1 has already seen exciting races and never-ending action. The fans are looking forward to the next race as Formula 1 makes a return to Australia after two long years. Albert Park in Melbourne has hosted some supreme races that is etched forever in the memories of F1 fans. Who can forget Mark Webber’s stunning 5th place finish with Minardi in 2002 after qualifying 18th, as the Australian fans rejoiced fellow Australian’s unbelievable debut? THE SOUND OF V10 ENGINES BRINGS BACK MEMORIES Australian Grand Prix [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/australian-grand-prix/] has a special place in the hearts of F1 fans. Initially, the race started in Adelaide in 1985, but moved to Albert Park, Melbourne in 1996. The race in Australia is one the fans look forward to the most because it has been the curtain raiser almost every year since 1996. With that in mind, a Twitter user released a footage of the opening laps during the 1997 Grand Prix in Australia. The video was taken from the stands as F1 cars with the V10 engine roared past the track. The sound of the V10 engines is music to the Formula 1 folks, as it brings a nostalgic feeling. The 1997 season of the Australian Grand Prix saw David Coulthard emerge victorious in McLaren-Mercedes. However, retirements marred the race, with 10 cars failing to complete the Grand Prix. Major Credit [https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-australian-gp-tickets-sell-out-in-hours-as-f1-drive-to-survive-claims-major-credit/] In the end, Coulthard took the honors with Michael Schumacher [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/] of Ferrari and fellow McLaren-Mercedes driver Mika Hakkinen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/mika-hakkinen/] finishing on the podium. TICKETS FOR THE 2022 AUSTRALIAN GP SELL OUT QUICKLY The race in Australia failed to go ahead after 2019 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the return has seen a significant rise in demand for the tickets as the hype around the race is at an all-time high. Part of the reason for the high demand is the change in regulations. As seen from the first two races, the new era has already shown exciting battles all over the track. [https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/lewis_hamilton_mercedes_australian_f1_grand_prix_2018_race_day.jpg] At the same time, Netflix’s documentary Drive to Survive has attracted the fans as well. Reports [https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/as-energy-returns-to-melbourne-netflix-effect-supercharges-f1-20220324-p5a7fq.html] suggest that 25,000 fans who waited for the tickets will not attend the Grand Prix because of the high demand. They sold the tickets 18 weeks prior to the race, which is a record time for the Australian GP. Watch This Story: How Much Does an F1 Car Cost? [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/f1-news-how-much-does-an-f1-car-cost/] It is no doubt that we cannot wait for the next race in Australia. The 2022 season has already produced two nail-biting finishes and the fans hope Albert Park will provide the same entertainment. 

As Australian Grand Prix is set to go ahead, a footage of the 1997 Australian GP
is released as the sound of V10 engines captivate the fans.

<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>.
