The Australian Grand Prix is the best place to start the F1 championship, according to back-to-back winner Sebastian Vettel.
Vettel believes the unique track is the ideal place to kick off a new Formula 1 season as he looks to repeat his successes of 2017 and 2018 when the season gets underway on Sunday.

He told reporters: “I feel Melbourne is the perfect place to start the championship. There’s an enjoyable atmosphere and the people are nice and welcoming.
However, the circuit itself is very unusual and you have to get attuned to the track: you have to remember the lines precisely and it’s not always easy to spot the breaking point and, on top of that, the track surface is usually bumpy.
“But we drivers like it and if we were asked if we wanted it resurfaced, we would probably say no, because that’s what makes it unique.”
