Nine Aussie F1 Fans In Speedos Arrested In Malaysia For Most Australian Reason Ever
Nine Aussie F1 Fans In Speedos Arrested In Malaysia For Most Australian Reason Ever-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:28

Australia has given the world many wonderful gifts over the years. . . And now, the “” toast where you drink out of a shoe. Sadly, the Malaysian Grand Prix didn’t appreciate nine scantily clad Australians who stripped down to do shoeys for Aussie F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo’s race win.

The entire racing world—save for ex-Red Bull driver Mark Webber, who —wanted to do a shoey with Ricciardo after he got his first race win of the year this weekend, and helped Red Bull to their first 1-2 finish since 2013. It was truly an worth staying up for.

Nine Australian Ricciardo fans at the Sepang Circuit wearing nothing but Malaysian flag “”—think Speedos with a more explicit name—got too rowdy for track officials’ liking doing shoeys during the post-race fan track invasion, reports .

Local police took an especially grim view of the banana hammocks, holding the nine Aussies in jail for four days while they’re being investigated for disrespecting the national flag, public indecency and breaching the peace.

Mind you, Australia is the country that has to limit fans attending its most famous road race to please only bring . Of course they’re going to party hard, but perhaps they should make note of the highly conservative morals of the country they’re visiting first. Malaysia is a predominantly Muslim country.

Next time, maybe they should come to the Texas race instead. That list of so-called offenses sounds like a regular Tuesday for a lot of us.

You know you’ve built your roll cage right when you can do this. This guy soared through the air, tumbled into and through the finish line banner, rolled, and was completely undisturbed by the entire ordeal.
