The Formula 2 and Formula 3 will also go to Australia
The Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne has been extended until 2035! And for the first time, the F2 and F3 will accompany Formula 1 on Australian soil starting from 2023.
For the first time, Formula 2 and Formula 3 will be heading to the Oceania continent.
Starting from next year, these promotional packages will follow the Formula 1 world on the Albert Park circuit in Melbourne.
With its 2022 edition gathering over 420,000 spectators over the course of three days, Australia holds an important position in the F1 calendar.
This is a great opportunity for Formula 2 and Formula 3. Formula 2 features two Australian drivers this season (Jack Doohan and Calan Williams). We can also mention the reigning champion, Oscar Piastri.
Bruno Michel, CEO of F2 and F3, is delighted: (e) I am extremely happy to add Melbourne to the F2 and F3 calendars starting in 2023. This further enhances the international aspect of our two championships by having them race on a new continent. It also shows that more and more circuits believe that F2 and F3 are an added value to the Formula 1 Grand Prix experience, showcasing the next generation of drivers.
Certainly, this will result in additional costs for these teams. But let’s wait and see the rest of the schedule…
Does Formula 2 finally consider becoming a world championship?
You will probably have to wake up early or stay up late to attend these races which are likely to be very exciting!
