Revision as of 09:38, 24 March 2018

The 2018 Australian Grand Prix (officially the Formula 1 2018 Rolex Australian Grand Prix)[1] will be the first race of the 2018 Formula One season, the 34th time the Australian Grand Prix will be held on the Formula One calendar, and the 23rd time it will be held at the Albert Park Circuit. It will be held between 23 March and 25 March 2018.


Background

After eighteen months of testing, the "halo" device, designed to protect a car's cockpit in order to improve safety, will finally be used for the whole Grand Prix weekend.[2] Due to the halo blocking part of drivers' visibility, the start light gantry at the front of the grid will be lower, while the second set that was originally around the middle of the grid will be at the front.[3]

For the first time, the circuit will have three Drag Reduction System zones. The third zone is located on the straight between Turns 12 and 13, with the detection point just before the Turn 11-12 chicane.[4][5]

Soft, supersoft and ultrasoft tyres will be used for the Grand Prix.[6]
