F1 Australian Grand Prix winners: The complete all-time list for every race at Adelaide and Melbourne

The new F1 season will once again get under way with the 2026 Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne’s Albert Park circuit in 2026, as an iconic event writes a new chapter in the sport’s rich history.

Lando Norris begins the year as the reigning world champion after giving McLaren its first Drivers’ Championship since Lewis Hamilton back in 2008. He will face mighty competition in 2026 from the likes of Hamilton, four-time champion Max Verstappen and title favourite George Russell.

Australia is now the recognised starting point for a 24-race odyssey which will again provide drama from March to December. But it hasn’t always been that way.

Adelaide (again with a street circuit) played host to the race from its inception in 1985 before Melbourne took over in 1996.

Many of the sport’s greatest names have taken the chequered flag on this terrific street circuit in the city’s suburbs, and another name will be added on Sunday March 8 when the race takes place for the 40th time.
