Australian Grand Prix -- Practice Day

The 2026 Formula 1 season continues at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne as drivers take to the track for Friday practice. The Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne is a semi-permanent layout that winds through the beautiful parkland surrounding Albert Park Lake. The 5.278 km circuit has been recently modified to improve racing, with wider corners and additional DRS zones. It is traditionally the season opener, and the buzz of a new Formula 1 season combined with the city's enthusiasm makes for an unforgettable race weekend.
