Motorsports News: F1 Grand Prix - Melbourne
Round two of the 2010 FIA Formula 1 world championship takes place in Melbourne at the Albert Park street circuit.
Teams arrive knowing this temporary track presents particular challenges, such as a little-used and therefore changeable surface, and close barriers. In previous years these factors have frequently combined with the fickle local climate to make the Australian Grand Prix eventful: in 2002 only eight cars finished and fifth-placed Mark Webber became the first, and to date only, Australian to score points at his home grand prix.
Located near Melbourne’s beachside St Kilda district, Albert Park is one of the most accessible of all current grand prix venues, with many fans and F1 personnel choosing to walk to the circuit.
Changes donn to the circuit since 2009 includes the installation of a new combination curb on the apex. Additional kerbs and artificial grass have been extended downstream on the exit of turns 2 and 12.
