Three safety cars, two lead changes on track, a shock podium for an unfancied team, and a last-lap battle that went to a photo finish. I do not know what other criteria you want from a grand prix. Albert Park suits wheel-to-wheel racing in a way Monaco simply cannot โ the long straights into slow corners create genuine overtaking opportunities rather than DRS parade passes. The 2026 tire compounds added a strategic layer where the two-stop undercut actually worked against cars on older rubber. If you watched Melbourne and came away bored, I genuinely don't know what you want from motorsport.
