ICYMI: Mullets, team mate goals, celebrities and wild weather – it’s the best social media from Australia

Melbourne made a return as the opening race weekend of the season for 2025, with the drivers and teams enjoying all the vibes Down Under. Jack Doohan and Oscar Piastri had the pleasure to be racing on home soil, while honorary Aussie Valtteri Bottas also got in on the action. The rain then fell on Sunday, leading to plenty of duck-themed humour. So, here is all the best social media you might have missed from Melbourne...
Piastri's biggest fan
Oscar Piastri was in hot demand all weekend in his home town of Melbourne, as were his Grandma's lamingtons that she made for the McLaren hospitality unit.
But no one was more delighted to see their hero than this young fan, with Piastri making their day as he stopped for a photo.
