'Darth Toto plotting Hamilton's eighth title' - F1 fans go wild as Mercedes Sith Lord returns
The Australian Grand Prix weekend brought back some of the biggest names from Formula 1 past as Daniel Ricciardo and Michael Masi both were in attendance in Melbourne.
But the biggest name of all – for F1 Twitter at least – arrived during free practice on Friday where the rain saw the return of 'Darth Toto.'
Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has made the hooded look iconic in Formula 1 circles, earning him the nickname Darth Toto after the Sith Lords in the Star Wars series.
The original Darth Toto became a meme and it was back for the Australian GP with even official accounts getting in on the act.
Mercedes supporters are hoping that the Sith Lord can use his force powers to get Lewis Hamilton back on the podium and turn their car into one capable of challenging for Hamilton's eighth World Drivers' Championship title.
Here are a selection of the best reactions to Darth Toto from F1 Twitter...
