However\, now that March is here the Formula One teams are arriving to take over the Park for this years inaugural race. The track at Albert Park is very smooth compared to other tracks resulting i n the Melbourne Grand Prix being considered a 'fast' circuit. The numbe r of ticket holders continues to rise in Australia with around 400\,000 enjoying the spectable track-side in 2007. In 2008 there were an amazing 3 safety cars before Lewis made it to victory\, so hang on for another exciting start to the season.

Even with the removal of the esses in 89 it is sti ll a slow old track\, second only to Monaco. Consequently you shouldn't expect too much action in terms of overtaking (exceptions have been Ralp h Schumacher who stormed from last to fourth in 2003) And there is a fai r likelihood that the pole sitter after qualifying will be running on va pours to make sure they are out at the front. The track is rarely used\ , so its always pretty dusty to start off with.
