Albert Park layout to be altered ahead of Australian GP

The layout of the Melbourne's Albert Park circuit will change ahead of the Australian Grand Prix on November 21.

The traditional F1 season opener has been delayed until the latter part of the season due to the coronavirus pandemic. That change of date has allowed circuit work to be brought forward.

The revamp of the circuit will be aimed at addressing recent criticisms of the circuit. While the venue remains popular, drivers have voiced frustrations at the limited overtaking opportunities provided.
