The 2025 F1 season returns to the Australian Grand Prix for its grand opening.<\/p>\n

From the 14th to the 16th of March<\/h2>\n

For the first time since 2019, Australia will open the 2025 F1 season. With six rookies, driver swaps, and team changes, the opening weekend<\/a> has plenty to offer.<\/p>\n

Oscar Piastri and Alpine rookie Jack Doohan are the first drivers to have the chance to go for glory in their home country.<\/p>\n

If you are heading to the track this weekend, the best place to be is\u00a0Turns 9 and 10. It’s the fastest section of the circuit, with little margin for error.<\/p>\n

The direction change underlines the remarkable performance of an F1 car, and there is a general admission area on the outside of Turn 9 for easy viewing.<\/p>\n
