The Age
The Victorian government's plans to upgrade the Albert Park circuit have hit a roadblock, with the construction of a new Formula 1 garage and corporate hospitality facilities delayed by two years. The project, aimed at boosting revenue for the global owners of the Australian Grand Prix, will now be completed later than expected. The delay may impact the event's ability to attract high-profile teams and spectators, potentially affecting the local economy. Key stakeholders are working to get the project back on track, with a focus on delivering a world-class facility that meets the demands of the Formula 1 series and its fans, including improved pit lane and paddock facilities.
