On the way to Melbourne
The third chapter of the 2023 F1 Championship which will be divided into 23 races is Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, a circuit that was used in the recent past to open up seasonal dances by hosting the season opener, a tradition that stopped after 2019. The Albert Park track in the 2022 edition introduced some significant new layouts in an effort to make the races more exciting. In the latest edition, the fourth DRS area has yet to be confirmed after free practice tests, but this year, on paper, it will be possible for drivers to open the moving wing in the fast section resulting from the cancellation of the Clark chicane (Turn 9). In 2022, Charles Leclerc and Ferrari celebrate the triple pole position, race win and fastest lapbut the insufficient competitiveness of the SF-23 that appeared at the beginning of the season makes it difficult for Monegasque to dream of appearing.
