Melbourne F1 location: Albert Park to host Australian Grand Prix again
The Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne, Victoria will again host the Australian Grand Prix in 2024.
A temporary street circuit, it is conveniently located just south of the city's CBD.
It has notably undergone a number of renovations in recent years.
Ahead of the 2022 race, seven corners were adjusted - with two removed entirely - in an effort to enable more overtaking opportunities and promote faster and more competitive racing.
The chicane at Turns 9 and 10 was also removed, with these changes set to remain long-term.
