F1 winner stars in HILARIOUS viral clip as rivals hail 'legend'
One current Formula 1 driver is clearly getting into the spirit of the upcoming Australian Grand Prix weekend, starring in an unusual advert that has gone viral on social media.
F1 heads to Melbourne this weekend, with two Australian drivers competing at the track in front of their adoring home crowd.

However, the fans may have a new favourite, after seeing an advert starring Sauber driver Valtteri Bottas for Uber Australia.
Bottas' Bondi Beach mullet-and-moustache look has already been compared with Australian cricket legend Merv Hughes recently, and the Finn's general love of stripping down to his budgie smugglers have made him a social media favourite.
That then made him the perfect fit for this new Uber advert, where the 34-year-old is seen showering in his front garden, and drying his budgie smugglers using a unique contraption on a new car.

Bottas' Uber advert goes viral
In the advert, Bottas proclaims his love for the fashion and food of Australia, before stating that he 'loves to drive' on the Australian roads.
The 10-time F1 race winner then proceeds to show off his 'second car' - complete with all a man like Bottas would need.
As well as the above washing and drying technology, Bottas' car features a meat pie warmer, a bike rack, 'mullet erasion technology' and, of course, 'BRS' - bug reduction system.
The advert has got a lot of people talking, including fellow driver Pierre Gasly, who simply labelled Bottas a 'legend' in the Finn's X replies, while 1996 world champion Damon Hill quipped: "Classic. Valtteri, where have you been all of our lives?"
Meat pie warmer? ✅ Budgie Smuggler clothes line? ✅ Kookaburra horn? ✅
