Spectators will be prevented from entering the track and will face $17,000 fines at Melbourne's Formula 1 Grand Prix as organisers seek to prevent a repeat of 2023's security breaches.

Australian Grand Prix chair Martin Pakula said event organisers are doing their best to ensure safety for all attendees.
