The Best Images from Australia 2026

The 2026 Formula One season begins in Melbourne as Albert Park hosts the Australian Grand Prix. Set against the scenic backdrop of Albert Park Lake and the city skyline, the semi-street circuit blends fast sweeping corners with heavy braking zones and rapid direction changes. With its mix of high-speed sections and tight chicanes, the track demands confidence from the drivers and a well-balanced car from the teams.

As the opening round of the season, the Australian Grand Prix always carries a special sense of anticipation. After months of preparation, testing, and development, teams finally discover where they stand in the competitive order.

Our photographers will be trackside across the entire weekend, capturing the action on and off the circuit as the story of the Australian Grand Prix unfolds. From the first laps in practice to the decisive moments on race day, we’ll be updating this gallery with the best images from Melbourne. Check out the gallery.
