Organisers of the F1 Australian Grand Prix have been forced to make an alteration to the circuit ahead of hosting the 2025 World Championship opener.
In response to incidents during last season’s race, the Australian Grand Prix organizers are changing the track markings at Albert Park to be white with a blue outline starting in 2025. The track, located in a public park, originally had yellow and green markings due to an agreement with Parks Victoria. The alterations are part of broader changes being made to improve safety and meet the FIA regulations. The Albert Park Circuit first hosted the Australian Grand Prix in 1996, replacing Adelaide as the season-opening race, and has since become a fixture on the F1 calendar. The most successful driver on the circuit is Michael Schumacher, who claimed the victory four times. The race was canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
