The Formula 1 season opener is returning to Melbourne, Australia after being moved to Bahrain due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The 3.28-mile Albert Park circuit will host its 28th Formula 1 race this year. Melbourne has previously held the season opener 22 times, but lost the slot to Bahrain in 2006 and 2010. The city is excited to have the race back as the opener and hopes to continue growing the event in the future.
