- Meet the team behind the Australian Grand Prix™.
Each year Albert Park transforms from a public space, into one of the most iconic Formula 1® circuits on the calendar.
When gates open on Thursday of event week, over 400-thousand people will pour into Albert Park as Melbourne becomes the epicentre of Formula 1® for one weekend per year.
The journey to lights out never really stops at the Australian Grand Prix Corporation. Every piece of feedback from teams, customers, Formula 1®, staff and contractors is meticulously factored into planning for the following year.
In total, approximately 400-thousand hours of collective work over a nine-week period is required to transform Albert Park into what the world sees during a Grand Prix weekend.
This is your introduction into the team, behind the scenes. The team that listen to fan feedback and work year round to improve both the race, and fan experience at Albert Park each year.

Thanks for this insight. It always boggles my mind as to how much work must go on behind the scenes to organise these events. Truly a massive teamwork effort. Here's to Oscar getting into the Points this weekend 🍻and 'Nando getting the chocolates. 🍫
F1 enthousiast from the Netherlands here. Very interesting too see how such a big event gets organized and set-up. Impressive how a city park can suddenly change into a complete F1 circuit.
Thanks for the kind words!
As a resident of the area, I’m blown away how amazing the set up is! Every year the whole st Kilda area is full of activity and yes it’s a little noisey.. but it’s all part of the fun. Can’t wait for 2024!
I got to visit Albert park in February and saw all of the hard work you guys have put in. Can't wait to go to the Grand Prix this weekend!!! So interesting how the event all gets planned, I'd love to see more videos like this.
Thanks for your kind words!
love the attention to detail extending to saying "grands prix" in the voiceover.
So excited to attend my first ever Grand Prix! Thank you F1 Aus team for all the amazing work planning and setting up! 🏎️
F1 is not just a sport, it is an emotion.
Can confirm.
i fucking love australia man, y'all are amazing people
you are amazing where ever it be you are from good kind person.
As a proud Aboriginal Australian , Id like to say Thank You for the Kind words towards my Country.
I love my fellow Aussies and love reading the love from Others Internationally online :)
Have a please weekend watching the F1 kind soul :)

@@OnlyDanFN thank you very much! let's enjoy the action
Looking forward to another great race this year.
As a brit, this race is up there as one of the all time greats for me.. a personal favourite.
Thanks for the kind words. With any luck you'll make it over for an Australian GP one day.
@@ausgrandprix it's a dream, i hope one day becomes a reality - two tickets fo next year?
all track should do a video like this tbh! amazing work
wow! great video. excellent insights on how the race track is built and whats happening behind the scenes and the jobs it creates. Let's hope Oscar puts on a stellar performance :D
Great event, amazing set up. Well done! Can't wait for this year's race!
Neither can we! Although, "rain rain go away!"
First time at Albert Park at the golf course a few weeks ago - unreal to just even see the fencing there. I'll be there after Ramadan goes earlier by each year. Cheers to F1 and Albert Park Aus GP.
Really well made video! Was exciting to see the behind the scenes that go into this 😀
Thanks for the kind words. As cool as the video is, it’s even more impressive to see it happen all around you. The team is incredible with what they can do.
Wow grass looks pretty amazing , wonder what month that team gets to work and starts to shape things up.
Cant wait to hear the roaring on Friday!
Beautiful event, cheers to everyone involved in putting it on... from 🇨🇦
Thanks for the kind words. We worked our butts off, and hope the world got to enjoy the fruits of all of labor.
Great production.
Cant wait for Friday practice!
i never watched F1 in my entire life but i drove all the way from sydney to melborune to watch this live in person and fell in love with it
Amazing!!!! What a great story.
will be watching from queensland on the couch since I was unable to go this year but it's at the top of my bucket list to go to the aus gp! a footy game at the mcg is a magical experience so I can only dream of what the gp is like 🤩
Sounds like a pretty good combo! I'm sure our friends at the Melbourne Comedy Festival would be able to make sure you finish your nights off right!
@@ausgrandprix what a weekend trip , F1 , MCG for the Footy or AAMI park for the NRL and a night of Comedy !
Bucket list for sure , when do parramatta play melbourne storm i wonder ? hmmmmm lol
awesome video
EPIC, CANT WAIT AUSSIE!!!😊
Just amazingg. Whatsupp AUSSIES. Good te be backk
Awesome!
ohh man , i hope to visit this beautiful place some day.
If you wanna fly me out F1 id be happy to do so and vlog my trip lol
Excellent 👍👏😀
wow beautiful circuit
Thanks! The team works extremely hard to make sure it’s looking as amazing as possible for when our international guests come and visit us each year.
Amazing! Amazing everything I heard about GPRIX in Autralia, Melborne in this video. But, it didn't say one any words about three most famous driver, so far. Will Power, Daniel Ricciard and the youngest: Oscar Piastri. 😥🤐🏁🤔🐻🐻🐻🥀
Thank you to everyone who organizes and helps set up Aussie GP, shame the 2023 race is gonna be boring RB 1-2
Man I'd love to go watch this race live one year.
We’d love to have you!
really would be great to be a dedicated track
Would save us alot of time each year :p
phone notifcation sound at 0:49 lol
What is the background music used? 0:25
Went last year and thought maybe they didn't realise how busy it would be since DTS creating hype and a couple of years off the calender. While they have waymore toilets than last year it seems come Saturday and Sunday there will be no where near enough bars for patrons to buy drinks if they don't have a corporate package and barely any seating behind the stands for people to sit and eat etc.
I hope overnight they sort these issues out.Maybe as it's day one it's not fully set up?
The Australian open hospitality for a general admission ticket holder is much more value than what I saw last year and I really hope it's changed this year!
In saying all that I was there today and will be there for the next 3. The location of this track is incredible. Pub,restaurants and bars all within 5 minutes from leaving the track in all directions.
I would love to see an Australian F1 GP at Bathurst one day. As a Melburnian I love the Melbourne GP, but to test the true grit of the drivers Bathurst would be awesome race.
There's a lot of love for Bathurst around Albert Park this weekend! #iconic
Step one: sign a back door deal with the fia.
Adelaide will always be the icon of F1 in Aus
Hi AGP
I've always wondered, how do you decide where the sponsorship signage is placed on track? I imagine the title sponsor gets the front straight and the Iconic Double Decker Bridge.
Interesting question. So, we are the rights holder for Formula 1 in Australia, but the on-track signage is the property of F1 global. Essentially, F1 has global partners and typically on-track signage at multiple Grand Prix events (not just ours), will be a part of their sponsorship arrangement.
Usually negotiated at contract sign, more cash more prime signage location.
That is with F1, they hold the during/inside circuit rights.
Great revenue but, would be interested to know, how much it is to build?
Let's goooooooooooooooooooo Piastri
Ahhhh can't wait to be there again it feels like last year was so long ago 💯
It’s been a hot minute….
i thought i was watching the B1M for a moment
5:04 the girl in the yellow crop is my teacher
I wanna know how they setup the track exactly the same every year. Walls fences all that.
It’s quite a process. We have a man extremely talented team. There are modifications each year, very slightly ones mostly aimed at better seating/views and better fan experience.
@@ausgrandprix but how do you know where the concrete blocks and walls go each year… exactly same spot year in year out and the fence configurations and camera positions. It’s amazing and interesting.
Melbourne is widely acknowledged as the best F1 grand prix experience for fans in the world. Here in the UK, Silverstone is terrible for fans (although improving slightly in the last few years) despite being an excellent circuit, the logistics around paying through the nose just for a chance of getting a ticket and having to pay fees for every possible stage, then actually getting to the circuit after queueing for several hours in traffic jams, camping nowhere near the circuit but having to pay a fortune to do it and then having to pay to park there and pay to travel from there to the circuit.
That's exactly the same for Melbourne mate
I’ve been to both. Silverstone is better because the circuit lends itself to far better racing. I actually walked out of the second Aus GP I attended in Melb because I was so bored - it was the year Vettel (Ferrari) beat Hamilton (Merc). The first race in 2011 or 2012 in Melb wasn’t any better - no overtaking.
@@Alex-tu9bhPlenty of hotels around the circuit within a 15 minute walk or less and I've never had an issue with queues because there are so many entry points. I've been to the event about four times, Melbourne does an excellent GP.
So many other better tracks in Australia
Yep but you can't pack paying customers into those venues
1:02 And tragically one unmemorable moment
Would love to see how Gravity Media bump in their OB stuff.
It happens surprisingly in the piece.
Why is there no more coloured gravel? That was always unique in Melbourne... 😢

To make this track even faster , one could fasten corner 10 and 9, and make corner 13 a 70 s degree turn, instead of slowing to a halt for a slow 90 degree turn, Faster faster
Take it Adelaide doesn’t stand a chance at getting it back then 😂haha lol
If the track was as good as the atmosphere, I´d go for a 2nd time.
there is an error there, You mean australias biggest event
Well we like to think so, but it depends how you classify an event. The Spring Racing Carnival attracts hundreds of thousands of attendees every year, as does the Australian Open, Melbourne Comedy Festival and heaps more. We're very lucky in Melbourne to be the home of so many fantastic events and we are just happy to be a part of the calendar :)
Would be better placed in Adelaide
Why are you disassembling track, I see no reason for that ?
Albert Park is a public space, operated by Parks Victoria who graciously allow us to use Albert Park for our Grand Prix every year. Once the race is over, the circuit is dissembled and returned back to its regular tenants which include with football, cricket, tennis, hockey, soccer clubs and more.
"Australia's Southern Capital" is the most Melbourne thing I've ever heard.
It's almost as little man syndrome as any Christian Horner interview.
"It's an event to experience again, again and again"
Yeah I used to go every year but tickets are way more expensive and harder to get. 👎
If the race is locked in until 2037, the track needs more permanent infrastructure. Everything is outdated and ‘patched and covered up’ every year. Pit straight needs to be completely rebuilt including the garages and a permanent paddock setup. A new modern pit straight building with large windows overlooking the lake and city could be used all year round for wedding receptions and function hire 🤔
With the extension, work is in progress to upgrade the pit building for future races. The park is a trickier one, it’s a public facility all year round (except for race week), used by lots of different community groups so permanent infrastructure (as much as it would make our lives easier), is not always an option for us. It’s a constant challenge redesigning the venue each year and one we feel like is pretty unique in the events industry.
It’s surprising to see women in a meeting regarding F1 circuit
C’mon Sam you’re better than that…
The Australian Grand Prix is made up of many extremely talented, brilliant women of which, the Australian F1 Grand Prix simply wouldn’t exist without.
@@ausgrandprix not sure he is better than that unfortunately
Keep up the good work
Albert Park should always been the curtain raiser. Not a fan of Bahrain or any others
This year you have to include F2 and F3 to the list of cars
F2 will be there
Love the circuit - not enough effort is made to fix the damage the f1 infrastructure does to the park once the event is packed up. I was disappointed to see that some of the grass areas of the park were left destroyed down to dirt, with no effort to fix it/grow it back. There were still large patches of dirt more than 10 months after the GP. Could do better
still salty about adelaide :/
Adelaide was magnificent and the location of a number of moments that are iconic to F1. There are lots of fans that still remember the Adelaide days fondly and we agree.
2020 must of hurt. Pack up for nothing
It still hurts....
should be in adelaide
Shame its one of the most boring race tracks on the calendar.
You obviously weren't watching this year....
@@ausgrandprix Sure did, crashes and idiot driving doesn't equate to a good race track. It is still one of the worst on the calendar, if not the worst.
Modern latest (since 1998) F1 race tracka sucks. ALL of them. They are all without soul.
This is such a bad circuit, just build a new permanent track.
And turn it into the most boring racing circuit. It's a joke!
Albert Park is the worst Australian racing circuit to hold a F1 race, like whenever has it produced a good race? Great racing? Never. Even after they tried extensive modifications to the track last year, well well all saw they did absolutely nothing, in providing better racing or more overtaking opportunities. Adelaide is where it should return, as it provided so many unforgettable races.
king of yappers
Cancel the Australian GP it's such a waste in terms of Carbon and also 4 DRS zones 🤮they can't build a race track
I don't like your reaction,
the Australian GP is one of the most beautiful races in the world
Please tell me you live in the UAE, I have so many insults loaded
@@diegolecle yes beautiful but 4 DRS zones 🤮. That's not racing. At this point they should just add fan boost that's the last thing they haven't done
@@thegruffalo5383 Pakistan
@@thegruffalo5383 He's a taxi driver at Tullamarine who doesn't believe in deoderant. His carbon footprint is huge. 😂
put it at a proper circuit, not hardly used streets
