I think we all miss Ricky Bobby. I'm sure he will be around the paddock this weekend. If not, we have our adopted mullet man in Valtteri.

I was able to walk around the lake when I was visiting Melbourne - such a beautiful park. Other than the garage building there was no sign of a race course. The documentation of the changes is quite interesting - thanks for sharing!

It's quite surreal to see something we're all so familiar with in a not-so-familiar form

At least we've still got the Mullet, Valtteri... our adopted Aussie. I'm hoping Fernando has a win here this year like he did when I last went back in 2006. Great tour of Albert Park, Stef!

I remember backpacking in 1995-1996, and seeing the start of very first buildup in Melbourne. A shame I couldn’t be at the race, but I did get up early that morning in the Netherlands and watching that GP with a very special feeling.

I live in Melbourne and drive past Albert park almost every day for work. It’s honestly a lovely park to walk around when it’s quiet, and it’s very hard to know that this is actually an f1 track

It’s incredible how they transform the area. The circuit once’s it’s put together is such a beautiful venue.

THIS is the kind of behind-the-scenes I was looking for - thank you Stef! Good news - ya got Danny Ric back this year !! 😎🏎

Watching this literally right before qualifying starts... positive this is more interesting than whatever sky happens to be showing right now.

I used to work near the Adelaide Parklands Curcuit, and used to get the same buzz from the setup before the Supercars event here. Amazing how quick they get it torn down. Our race finished Sunday afternoon, and all the streets were open, barriers gone, etc before morning rush on Monday. We had a couple of big grandstands built on the street too, they were gone by next morning as well.

What a great video! Ever since I became an F1 fan I've been curious about the behind the scenes of how street circuits are put together. And how these places look during race weekend vs any other time of the year. Wish there was more content like this for other street circuits!

Great video, thanks for showing the evolution of the track from normal public road to AUS GP.

thank you for sharing!

I always love to check out the progress during those 2 months. Also riding the bike is pretty cool on the track.

I was working there this year setting up the F2/F3 garages, team hospitality centres and that big marquee overlooking turn 13/14 - really cool couple of months being involved with it all

Wow, never realised just how much goes into transforming this into an F1 ready track😮. Thanks for the great insight

This is so sick!!! Great idea and great video Stef :)

So glad I was at this race and it Is truly amazing to see how it is built

Thanks a lot for this video man, it is just something that I have been wanting to watch. How a public road becomes a F1 track is something that I have searching for earlier.

I remember backpacking in 1995-1996, and seeing the start of very first buildup in Melbourne. A shame I couldn’t be at the race, but I did get up early that morning in the Netherlands and watching that GP with a very special feeling.

I’m fortunate to have attended the Australian Grand Prix a few years ago. What a great place to see a race!

I always knew it was a lot of work, but never quite realized it was this much. Nice video. Thanks mate!

Thank you for such an amazing video and your efforts of 70 days to show us the transformation. Loved it!!

great tour Stef ! Amazing vidéo thx for sharing :)

It’s been really cool doing school sport at MSAC so every week I get to see the progress but I am really excited and happy that we’re back in Australia. Although Daniel Ricciardo isn’t gonna be there we will survive

So glad i came across this. what a cool perspective. love it

Amazing. Thank you for this.

Awesome video, thanks for creating this content. It’s so much fun to see this process

Both your YT channels are great, thank you!!

Very cool video how the park transform into the circuit. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great insight into the prep, thank you.

Definitely cool to see the before and after process.

Ah I love these kind of videos! Thanks

This is the most interesting F1 video I've watched in years. Thank you for taking the time to show us.

Nice video mate! I love seeing Albert Park transform from a public park into an F1 street circuit, 1 or 2 weeks before the race weekend, I go to the park and walk around, You can even see some people on their cars drivinga round the and stop on some corners to take a picture of their cars while on the corner pretending that they are racing.

Best video I have seen on the construction. Thank you

Such a good video. Thank you for showing this, it's so interesting to see this transformation. You go straight to it without 20 minutes of bullshit with every update

Brilliant! I would so love to drive around the circuit on the last day before access is closed, it must be so evocative with all/most of the track furniture in place.

@@stef747 As someone's who lives near Monaco here's a little secret: there are a few rare spots in the more elevated streets high above the circuit with viewpoints to see the Monaco GP for free without a ticket. Now obviously these aren't grandstands or seats but I did go there last year to attend the qualifying and it was a really fun time. I had views over either St Devote or one spanning from the swimming pool complex to the entry to rascasse

this is awesome. thank you

I love how Melbourne can make these incredible sporting experiences that are top class

Enjoy Stef... Looking for a great 2023 season

Great video, massive effort goes into this event

Really cool video! Nice insight into how that entire thing comes together to go from a park into a F1 circuit. When it's on it doesn't really look like a street circuit. Also, nice editing and shots.

Thank you for this video .

I moved to Melbourne only recently and have been running in Abert parkrun for 3 weeks. I haven't seen Albert Park in its usual self, but being a long-time F1 fan, the first time I visited Albert Park and noticed the GP buildup, I was excited for the race week ever since. Having been to the fantastic AusGP 2023 yesterday. Thanks, Stef, this video is a gem for me for. You've earned a loyal subscriber.
