As a temporary venue, Albert Park can be quite bumpy (which will make things even more difficult for the 2022 Formula 1 cars that already struggle with the purposing issue), while the circuit at the start of the weekend is often slippery, rubbering in as the sessions progress. It’s also a track that needs a well-sorted chassis, with several spots on the track where the drivers require a reactive front end to allow them to chuck it into a corner – the main one being the rapid Turn 11-12 chicane. Melbourne is also one of the faster tracks on the calendar, with Lewis Hamilton’s 2019 pole lap set at an average of over 235km/h.
Join ScuderiaFans later in the afternoon to keep up to date with the latest results, timings, news and updates from the Albert Park Circuit, as the second practice session for the 2022 Australian Grand Prix is about to get underway in Melbourne. Scuderia Ferrari drivers Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc will return to the circuit behind the wheel of the F1-75 cars, ready to continue evaluating and testing to find the ideal car settings, configurations and set-up ahead of the qualifying session on Saturday and the main event on Sunday evening.
