The await is almost over. After a long winter, the Formula 1 season opener in Australia has a special taste for Scuderia Ferrari, as the Maranello team looks to capitalize on the changes and development upgrades used during the pre-season testing sessions.
The first race of the 2018 Formula One championship will take place on the Albert Park circuit, which is a rather special venue and not a permanent race track, thus the surface will be improving throughout the weekend, weather permitting. Its abrasiveness is usually expected as quite moderate so Pirelli has allocated the soft, supersoft and ultrasoft compounds for the race weekend. When it comes to set-up for the new SF71H, braking stability and traction from low speed, as well as sharp changes of direction, will be important factors.
Follow us for the latest updates and results from the Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit as the first practice session ahead of the 2018 Australian Grand Prix is about to get underway, with Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen at the wheel of the SF71H.
