F1 drivers have been told they won't be able to compete in the Australian Grand Prix unless they've been vaccinated against Covid-19 - as organisers seek to avoid the chaos caused by the recent Novak Djokovic saga.
The race in Melbourne has been absent from the calendar in the past two seasons due to the impact of the virus, but will return in 2022.
Traditionally the first Grand Prix of the season, drivers will instead head to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia in March before returning down under on the second weekend in April.
The controversy surrounding Djokovic proved divisive in Australia, with the Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews, originally making it clear the state's strict vaccination rules would not be eased for this month's Australian Open.
