MoneyGram Haas F1 Team’s 2023 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season continues with Round 3, the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park, Melbourne.  



The Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit in Albert Park – a temporary facility erected in the picturesque public park just outside of Melbourne’s cultural center – is where the racing journey began for MoneyGram Haas F1 Team.



In 2016, the team’s two cars lined up on the starting grid in Formula 1 for the first time and 90 minutes later the lead contender greeted the checkered flag in a stunning sixth place, proving that MoneyGram Haas F1 Team were here to stay and here to compete.



Heading into the 2023 Australian Grand Prix MoneyGram Haas F1 Team is buoyed by scoring its first point of the season last time out in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and the ambition is to add to that tally on Sunday.



MoneyGram Haas F1 Team drivers Kevin Magnussen and Nico Hulkenberg are both well-versed in the nuances of Albert Park. Magnussen starred on his debut in 2014 by finishing on the podium, a feat only he and Lewis Hamilton have achieved since the turn of the century.



Hulkenberg scored a best of sixth, also in 2014, while he has finished seventh on four occasions in Melbourne, including on his most recent appearance down under in 2019.



Australia first joined Formula 1’s calendar in 1985, when Adelaide established itself as the season-ending venue, before the country’s grand prix was moved to Melbourne in 1996.



It has remained there ever since and successfully returned in 2022 following its pandemic-enforced hiatus, with a tweaked and faster layout well-received by drivers, on a weekend in which over 400,000 spectators passed through the gates.



Its long-term contract highlights the passion and enthusiasm for Formula 1 in a city rich in sporting heritage but the focus is on the here and now, with MoneyGram Haas F1 Team eager to thrive on track in 2023.
