Albert Park is a temporary circuit laid out around a lake in a public park barely three kilometres from the Melbourne CBD, and it opens the season. Since the 2022 resurfacing and reprofiling it is one of the fastest “street-ish” tracks on the calendar, with four DRS zones and a long flat-out run down to the lakeside braking zone at Turn 9.
Grandstands here sit close to the barriers, so choice is mostly about which kind of action you want: the pit-straight stands give you starts, pit stops and the podium; the stands around the fast Turn 11–12 sequence give you commitment and kerb-riding; the Turn 9–10 chicane area is the best overtaking spot after the DRS run. Because much of the lap is tree-lined, elevation and a clear line of sight matter more than raw proximity — check both in the 3D view before booking.
