  • One week after the race, see the barriers where Pierre Gasly, Esteban Ocon, and Kevin Magnussen crashed, see the teams taking apart the circuit. What happens AFTER the Australian GP? How is the circuit removed from this public park?
    Filmed in Albert Park, home of the Australian Formula One Grand Prix.
    The Australian Formula One Grand Prix takes place annually in Melbourne, Australia. However, when the race is over, it's time to dismantle the various structures and facilities that were put in place for the event. This process involves a significant amount of planning and coordination to ensure that everything is safely and efficiently taken down.
    The first step in dismantling the Australian Grand Prix involves removing all of the temporary fencing, barriers, and other structures that were used to create the race track and spectator areas. This is done using cranes, forklifts, and other heavy machinery. Then the grandstands and hospitality tents are taken down, along with any temporary lighting or power supplies and Albert Park is returned to its original state. All of this work must be done carefully and methodically to ensure that no damage is done to the park or surrounding areas, and that everything is properly packed up and transported away. Big respect to the teams who do this work every year so we can enjoy such a fun motorsport event.

    I live 3 hours south-west and have been going for years now, I like to hang our prior to a event around 3am to walk around and see everything with mostly no people. Love it!

    This is the behind the scenes content we need to see more of. It’s interesting to see how the park is reintroduced to the public after the GP (which should be reinstated as the first round of the season in my opinion)

    It was a ripper weekend. Way better organised amenities wise than last year; although there really needs to be two pontoons and another pedestrian bridge over the back part of the track to accommodate for the huge crowds. Was a massive bottleneck on Saturday when I was there. Great video mate!

    Man, this is crazy, seems like building a street circuit and removing it costs more than maintaining a permanent circuit. Would want to, Is it so in reality?
    And, fantastic video! Great effort to show us the behind the scenes of an street circuit grand prix! Must be pretty surreal to touch and feel the barriers where they crashed.

    It is such a sad feeling after a race, i have been to a few nascar races and camped in the infield, such an awkward feeling being there after the main event. The best part is the energy building up just for Monday to come and it be gone, so depressing to me. I know i had fun but then it so hard leaving

    I think that this just shows how crazy having street circuits is. The amount of time and money that it takes to build and then take apart the circuit is just insane. Presumably all of the gravel will now go to landfill.

    A bit of smushed F1 car would be a pretty cool souvenir! It will be interesting to see this process unfold here in Chicago this summer for a NASCAR race. F1 seems like a better fit here, but oh well. I don't follow it (though the novelty of NASCAR drivers turning right might lure me in...) I'll see if there's a chance to do this on the ciruit after the race here!

    Really important that everyone watches it again and sees the reality of life in terms of trying to be 'green.... carbon neutral' etc. It's bloody impossible to run any kind of even like this without fleets and fleets of diesel run equipment.

    Well the grass and footy ovals are ruined for the next three months. The timeline they have printed around the park has three months to set up, two months to pack up and another month to fix up the grass. If the park is under construction for six months a year the event isn't really temporary and the park just feels like a large construction site. Why not build a real track out in Werribee?
