We still have to be patient, but in less than a week, the third Grand Prix of the year is scheduled to take place in Melbourne. As the weather forecast now stands, it could be a particularly wet weekend in Albert Park.
Albert Park has been hosting the premier class since 1996 and will host its third Grand Prix of the season this weekend. The track is over 5.3 kilometers long and has sixteen turns. The fastest time was in the hands of Michael Schumacher. In 2004, the German racing legend took 1:24.125 minutes to complete the circuit from start to finish in his Ferrari. The most recent Australian Grand Prix winner is Max Verstappen. The Dutchman was able to beat Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso in 2023.
weather forecast
It has become apparent many times in the past that Melbourne can be haunted at times. A first look at the weather forecast for next weekend tells us there's a good chance it will be very stormy next weekend. Rain is expected over the three days of the race, with heavy rain likely on Saturday in particular. Forty percent rain is also expected on Sunday. If it does rain during the sessions, it could get very chaotic at Albert Park.
