Nine Australians arrested for stripping off at the Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix have walked free from a court.
The group, branded the "Budgie Nine", were charged with public nuisance, which carries a fine but no jail time.
The men were detained after posing in swimwear decorated with the Malaysian flag to celebrate Australian Daniel Ricciardo's win in Sunday's race.
In a letter read out in court, they apologised and expressed their "deepest regret".
They said the incident was "purely an error of judgement" on their behalf.
