Melbourne’s spectacular Albert Park street circuit is the perfect setting for the opening round of the 2013 FIA Formula One World Championship™ season.
Aussie fans can look forward to seeing two local heroes on-track again in 2013 with Formula 1® veteran Mark Webber lining up against young-gun Daniel Ricciardo for the second year in a row.
As rivalry builds between manufacturers and drivers, can Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso emulate their 2012 form or will Lewis Hamilton dominate in his first race for Mercedes?
With five FIA Formula One World Champions™ on the grid, it promises to be an electrifying start to the year.
