The Australian Grand Prix returns to Melbourne as the Formula One season opener for 2026, with dedicated fans queuing overnight and sprinting through the gates to secure prime positions along Melbourne Walk, where F1 drivers sign autographs and pose for photos. Local favourite Oscar Piastri headlines the event, which features new regulations making cars smaller, lighter and faster. Practice rounds begin tomorrow with supercars on track today.
