| Located in the city centre of Melbourne, the attractive setting of Albert Park, will once again play host to the season-opener in 2007 after it was shifted to the middle of the calendar last year as a result of the Commonwealth Games. During the Australian Grand Prix, drivers have 58 long laps around Albert Park, made up of an interesting combination of fast, flowing corners, and a tight hairpin styled bend that leads back on to the start-finish straight. Albert Park staged racing in the 1950s, including two events called the Australian Grand Prix; however, they did not count towards the World Championship. Albert Park celebrated its eleventh running of an Official Grand Prix in 2006; a race which was won by World Champion, Fernando Alonso! | |||
