During the Formula 3 sprint race, a significant crash caused damage to the barriers at Albert Park, resulting in repairs.

Those repairs meant FP3 in Melbourne was to be delayed, the FIA stated. At 12:45 local time (01:45 GMT), the Formula 1 drivers can take to the track, as the work will be completed by then.

The FIA have had a very busy Saturday in Australia, with U-turns surrounding the new Straight Modes.

With no more DRS, Straight Modes came into effect, resulting in parts of the track where the new active aerodynamics could be used.

The governing body made the decision to move the fourth mode around Albert Park, but just a few hours later, that move was rescinded after some criticism.
