The Australian Grand Prix Corporation has revealed a new look for Albert Park which it hopes will boost overtaking and reduce lap times by up to five seconds when Formula 1 visits in November.
Due to strict Covid regulations in Australia, the planned season-opener was moved forward from its March date to November where it now sits as the third-last race of the year.
Officials have used the additional time available to make significant upgrades to the circuit which includes widening certain areas, altering the camber of numerous corners, and in some cases completely modifying the layout.
