2023 F1 Australian Grand Prix session timings and preview
Formula 1 travels to the Melbourne this weekend for the third round of the season. Here's how you can watch the 2023 Australian Grand Prix.
Red Bull heads to Melbourne as the favourite following dominant performances in both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, but the team has only once managed to score a race win at Albert Park during its near-two decade stint in F1.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc won the last edition of the Australian GP in 2022 and will be hoping to repeat that result this year after struggling compared to both Red Bull and Aston Martin drivers in the opening two flyaway races of the season.
