Kanoa Igarashi, Connor O'Leary, and Isabella Nichols have been making the most of their time in Victoria with a visit to the F1 in Melbourne over the weekend. O'Leary and Nichols, who spent time surfing with HAAS F1 driver Mick Schumacher on Friday, swapped the surf for the race track to watch the Australian Grand Prix return to Melbourne for the first time since 2019.

Meanwhile, Igarashi cheered on AlphaTauri F1 driver Yuki Tsunoda on his first trip to Australia with F1.

Both F1 drivers enjoyed time at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach, cheering on Igarashi and O'Leary in their heats during the men's Opening Round on Monday.

The Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach is ON now and holds a competition window through April 20. The competition will be broadcast LIVE on WorldSurfLeague.com, the WSL's YouTube channel, and the free WSL app.
