- Alain Prost is the only driver, as of the 2019 Australian Grand Prix, to win the race in both Australian domestic (1982) and World Championship (1986 and 1988) formats.
- The last Australian driver to win the AGP was 1980 World Champion Alan Jones who won 1980's non-championship race.
- The last Australian driver to officially finish on the podium was John Smith in 1983. Australia's only current (2019) Grand Prix driver Daniel Ricciardo had finished 2nd in the 2014 race, but was disqualified post-race.
- Since becoming a round of the Formula One World Championship in 1985, Jones (1985 and 1986), David Brabham (1990 and 1994), Mark Webber (2002–2013) and Ricciardo (2012–present) are the only Australian drivers to race in the Australian Grand Prix.
2021 Cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and was replaced by the Qatar Grand Prix 2022 Charles Leclerc Ferrari 2023 Max Verstappen Red Bull-Honda RBPT
- * From 1932 to 1948, the winner was determined on a handicap basis.[1]
- + The 1937 event was staged as the "South Australian Centenary Grand Prix" on 26 December 1936.[2]
- # The 1928 event was officially known as the "100 Miles Road Race".[3]
- ** The 2020 Grand Prix was cancelled on 13 March 2020 which was the same day that it was due to start running due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event's cancellation by the the event's promoter the Australian Grand Prix Corporation (AGPC) was announced just 90 minutes before Free Practice 1 was due to begin running but the event's official cancellation by the FIA was not confirmed until 8 hours later on that same day when the FIA released a statement which officially confirmed the event's cancellation.
- The 2021 Grand Prix was originally scheduled to be run on 21 March 2021 but it was initially postponed and moved back to be run later on in the year on 6 January 2021 by the FIA because of the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia and it was originally rescheduled to be run on 21 November 2021. It was later cancelled on 6 July 2021 by the FIA because of COVID-19 concerns as new COVID-19 restrictions were implemented by the government of Victoria (State) which significantly restricted the admittance of international citizens to the state in order to combat the spread of the virus. The main reason for the event's cancellation by the FIA was because of low COVID-19 vaccination rates in Australia as COVID-19 vaccines were not readily available at the time in the country. This marked the event's cancellation for a second consecutive year because the 2020 event was cancelled by the FIA on the same day that it was due to begin running on 13 March 2020 just 90 minutes before Free Practice 1 was due to begin because of the beginnings of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia. Following it's cancellation by the FIA the event was replaced by the Qatar Grand Prix which was run on the event's originally rescheduled date of 21 November 2021 as a substitute event.
