After a week-long break, Formula 1 restarts from Oceania with the Australian Grand Prix, now in its 38th edition, but only the third consecutive one due to the lack of races in the 2020-2021 biennium due to the country's lockdown. The first 11 GPs were held in Adelaide, in the state of South Australia, while the subsequent ones took place in Melbourne, about 700 km further south, in the state of Victoria.
