It has been providing fans with plenty of excitement at the Adelaide Street Circuit in South Australia, moving to Melbourne in 1996. It is a well known event on the race calendar, regularly providing F1 fans with a race to remember and with this in mind, Australian Grand Prix tickets are certain to be a popular draw.
The Australian Grand Prix actually traces its roots back way beyond its current status as part of the Formula One season, with the race appearing in the World Championship and in the Tasman Series, as well as part of the Australian Drivers’ Championships from 1928 to the 1980s when Formula One knocked on its doors. Since it became part of F1 though, it has been a regular feature at both ends of the season, appearing as the final race during its time in Adelaide and moving to the start of the calendar in Melbourne, before being nudged out by the Bahrain Grand Prix.
As for the race itself – there have been many notable incidents at the Australian Grand Prix, with Michael Schumacher’s infamous collision with Damon Hill in 1994 becoming the subject of huge debate at the time – as it gave Schumacher the Championship. Other famous occasions include the 1-2 victory of Jenson Button and Rubens Barichello for Brawn-Mercedes in 2009, as well as Button’s second victory on the circuit in 2010. Other winners on the circuit include Michael Schumacher, who holds the title alongside Lex Davison with the most wins in the meeting’s history, as well as Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and more.
