News: 5 world champions will be lining up for the Melbourne Formula 1 Grand Prix. Red Bull & Ferrari are generally deemed to be top of the class, while McLaren could do better after a disappointing pre-season. Mark Webber is confident Red Bull can be one of the teams to beat in 2011. However, with new fast-wearing Pirelli tyres, driver-adjustable rear wings and the return of the energy-boost system KERS, races are unlikely to be decided on pure speed alone.
Further Information: Each year a minor miracle takes place, transforming the leafy Albert Parklands into thrilling 5.3km challenge for the best drivers in the world. This year will see the introduction of the V8 Supercars Albert Park 400, showcasing the very best V8 drivers in an exciting new format.
