The Albert Park Circuit

Although it might not look like it, the Albert Park Circuit is actually a street circuit, this is possibly due to the fact that the track is not entirely surrounded by walls and features grass and gravel run-off areas.

The track features just 14 corners making for a rather fast track to get around, but the corners take some getting used to, especially because of how the kerbs are placed. This is more apparent with the 2022 cars as kerbs unsettle them more than the previous regulations.

Otherwise, it is a pretty good beginner track with forgiving track limits if ever you do commit a mistake. The track itself is also pretty flat. With it being a street circuit, elevation changes are very limited which makes for a rather straightforward runaround.

The track also features 3 DRS zones, 2 of which are pretty short so the gains that you would get from them are pretty limited.

The track has seen some changes to its layout for this year though, the most notable of which is the removal of the chicane which would have led to the long lakeside left corner.

This change would allow for more overtaking opportunities as cars will have more time slipstreaming the car ahead and onto the rather fast and wide chicane.
