Netflix Effect in Australia?

Australian GP organizers seeing unprecedented demand

The once-unprecedented times look to be nearing an end for one of the strictest countries on earth — Australia.

It’s been over 1,100 days since we’ve been racing at Albert Park in Melbourne following the postponement of the Australian Grand Prix in 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The track underwent layout changes, the most notable being the modification of the Turn 9-10 complex from a heavy right-left corner to a fast-sweeping right-left corner into Turns 11 and 12. Further modifications included the widening of the pit lane by 2m and the reprofiling of Turn 13. Also, some corners were widened such as Turn 1, Turn 3, Turn 6, Turn 7, and Turn 15; and it is expected that these modifications will reduce qualifying lap times by as much as 5 seconds.

The fastest time on this circuit prior to the changes was set by Michael Schumacher in the Ferrari F2004

But I digress…
