New challengers, new corners – a lot has changed since F1 last raced in Australia back in 2019.
Melbourne’s Albert Park circuit is faster than before, and Ferrari and Red Bull will be fighting for victory. In the latest episode of F1 Nation, Tom Clarkson, Damon Hill and special guest Pedro de la Rosa look ahead to the race, debate which team the new high-speed layout will suit best, and dive into the driving styles best suited to the 2022 cars.
