Track schedule announced for the FORMULA 1 ROLEX AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2023
Thursday, 2 February 2023
Fans will be spoiled for choice with a huge line-up of on-track entertainment and no shortage of Australian talent on display at the FORMULA 1 ROLEX AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2023.
Formula 2® and Formula 3® will be on Australian shores for the first time ever, while Formula 1® returns to Melbourne for the third race in the 2023 calendar.
On the F1® grid, all eyes will be on Melbourne-born Oscar Piastri as he embarks on his much-hyped debut season for the McLaren team.
Jack Doohan, son of Australian MotoGP™ legend Mick Doohan, remains with Virtuosi Racing for his second season in F2®, following an impressive 6th place finish in 2022.
Young Australians Christian Mansell, Tommy Smith and Hugh Barter will all make their full-time debut in F3®.
Practice and qualifying sessions for the three categories will begin on Friday, and the final qualifying session for F1® will take place on Saturday afternoon.
Sprint races for both F2® and F3® will bring another level of excitement on Saturday, a shorter race format where the grid is determined by reversing the top 10 finishers of Friday's qualifying session results.
We are thrilled to welcome Formula 2 and Formula 3 to the Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix 2023. With Australians on the track in every category, fans can expect four action-packed days of racing.Division Manager - Motorsport, David Corrigan
