Pre-season testing, practice and qualifying can only take you so far. Each team uses smoke and mirrors to highlight or conceal their new car's ability to keep rivals guessing, but when the lights go out at Albert Park on Sunday, everything will become clear.
Mercedes appear to be the frontrunners going into the campaign, Ferrari and McLaren are behind them, while Red Bull could enter the season with work to do to restore themselves to the summit.
Oscar Piastri will be determined to put on a show for his home fans, while McLaren teammate Lando Norris will soak up his first race as a world champion.
The first season is always fraught with uncertainty, unpredictability and peril, making it one of the highlight races of the season. Don't miss a moment – even if it costs you some sleep this weekend.
