The Albert Park circuit has received a tweak, meaning it could be the fastest track on the Formula One circuit, as Australian hopeful Oscar Piastri opened up about how he is feeling ahead of his home race.
Fans will see cars travelling at speeds around 300km/hr more often with the introduction of the zone which had been removed in the 2022 race following complaints of blocking and impeding from some of the drivers.
The addition of a fourth DRS zone at Albert Park could mean fans are treated to the fastest Australian Grand Prix ever.
