The 2019 Formula 1 season has well and truly kicked off in Melbourne, Australia, which plays host to the season opening grand prix.

Although there's been no track action yet and won't be until Friday morning's first practice session, all 20 drivers along with their team bosses attended a launch event in Federation Square on Wednedsay.

It's the first time F1 has hosted a launch event and it seems to have done the trick, attracting a huge crowd as host Mark Webber – a local hero – interviewed each driver to get their view on the season ahead.

Local driver Daniel Ricciardo was the centre of attention ahead of his official Renault debut this weekend, having swapped from Red Bull.

He arrived in style for the media event!

Meanwhile our Grand Prix Editor Phillip Horton spent part of the day with this guy and some adorable puppies, I'm sure we'll tell you why in a later article.

Well this is just the best media event. pic.twitter.com/xcTRJr70jl

Wednesday sees the finishing touches in the paddock as the team's complete their garage builds…

…and the drivers get familiar with the circuit with an old fashioned track walk.
