The competition for the 2011 FIA Formula One World Championship creates the perfect setting for a big weekend of speed, adrenaline and world-class entertainment at the spectacular setting of Melbourne's Albert Park.

March will be an exciting time in Melbourne. The city will be abuzz with media, celebrities and event-goers here for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the start of the AFL season and to witness the pinnacle of motor racing at the 2011 Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix.

The 2011 Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix includes an unparalleled line-up of the worlds most exciting and action-packed motorsport racing across six support categories. Combine this with a myriad of off-track activities and live music and there will be something for everyone.

On the driver front, Aussie fans can look forward to two local heroes being on-track at Albert Park. Mark Webber will be joined on Friday by Daniel Ricciardo as the young West Australian gets his Formula One opening as third driver for Scuderia Toro Rosso at every race.

As anticipation builds around the close rivalry between manufacturers and drivers, can Sebastian Vettel emulate his winning World Championship form, will Mark Webber win his home race or will Jenson Button make it three in a row at Albert Park?

The Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix is one of the largest attended events in Australia attracting a four day estimated attendance of 305,000 in 2010. With Victoria on the world stage, the Grand Prix will be watched by over 50 million viewers in 150 countries.
