<\/a><\/p>\nIt\u2019s set to be an exciting start to the 2018 Formula One season with the Australian Grand Prix on March 25th. The Australian Grand Prix actually started way back in 1928, but didn\u2019t become part of the Formula One World Championship until 1985. The race was held at the Adelaide Street Circuit for ten years, then moved to the Melbourne Grand Prix circuit from 1996 where it has been held ever since.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s new in Formula One in 2018?<\/strong><\/p>\n 2018 sees the introduction of a brand new safety feature as part of the revision of the technical regulations. This feature is a new cockpit protection device and has been dubbed the \u2018halo\u2019. It\u2019s thought that the halo will be present in all open-wheel racing by the year 2020.<\/p>\n In 2018 we\u2019ll also see shark fin engine covers and T-wings banned from the Grand Prix. Also, any suspension systems that alter the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle over a lap will be disallowed.<\/p>\n There will be a wider range of dry tyre compounds available, seven in total, that\u2019s 2 more than previously and grid penalties for power unit changes will also be simplified. In addition, the drivers will only be allowed three power units for the season. So that\u2019s one less than was previous allowed.<\/p>\n 2018 Driver Line Up <\/strong><\/p>\n Mercedes<\/strong> – Lewis Hamilton & Valtteri Bottas<\/p>\n Ferrari<\/strong> – Sebastian Vettel\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 & Kimi Raikkonen<\/p>\n Red Bull<\/strong> – Daniel Ricciardo & Max Verstappen<\/p>\n Force India<\/strong> – Sergio Perez & Esteban Ocon<\/p>\n Williams<\/strong> – Lance Stroll & Sergey Sirotkin<\/p>\n Renault<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – Nico Hulkenberg & Carlos Sainz<\/p>\n Toro Rosso – <\/strong>Pierre Gasly & Brendon Hartley<\/p>\n Haas – <\/strong>Romain Grosjean & Kevin Magnussen<\/p>\n McLaren – <\/strong>Fernando Alonso & Stoffel Vandoorne<\/p>\n Sauber – <\/strong>Marcus Ericsson & Charles Leclerc<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Watching the Formula One Grand Prix <\/strong><\/p>\n The only place to watch all the races, including practices and qualifying is on Sky Sports dedicated F1 channel, so make sure you\u2019re subscribed.<\/p>\n Love the Australian Grand Prix, or just love Australia?<\/strong><\/p>\n Or perhaps you are Australian yourself and have a great love for your homeland?
