F1 2019: Australian Grand Prix Dates Locked
Australian GP organizers have scheduled the dates of March 15-17 for the F1 season opener.

Formula 1 will host its first ever season launch event ahead of the first race in Australia in March.
This fan event will be held at Melbourne’s Federation Square on the Wednesday of race week, where all the 20 drivers and team bosses will participate.
Sean Bratches, F1’s Commercial Chief said “Since 1996, except on two occasions, Formula 1, the greatest spectacle in the world, has kicked off its year in Melbourne”
“There really couldn’t be a location better than this fantastic city. The passion, knowledge and enthusiasm of the Melbourne crowd deserved a special thanks and this is why we have decided to organise the first ever season launch event in the history of the sports” he added.
