The Dutchman, 25, navigated the various incidents to secure a second win of the season, ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso.
And the craziness spilled over to the crowds in attendance in Australia.
A record 131,124 people attended Sunday’s race, while a staggering 444,631 made it to the Melbourne track across the four days.
Organisers were criticised after a number of spectators managed to break through security and make their way onto the track before the race ended.
They were also able to gain access to Nico Hulkenberg’s Haas after he went off at turn two during the final restart.
Another fan also criticised the staging of the event by revealing he was struck by a piece of debris from Kevin Magnussen’s car.
Then, when the F1 race had officially finished, one overly enthusiastic supporter was filmed running naked on the circuit.
He celebrated making it onto the track as stunned fans watched him disappear around the corner.
He was eventually tackled by security.
Organisers of the race, the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, were told by Formula One to provide a “formal remediation plan” following the lapses in security.
This included a review of the marshals that were supposed to be protecting Hulkenberg’s car.
Stewards said in an FIA statement: “All of this presented significant danger to the spectators; race officials and the drivers.”
The stewards also called for the incident to be referred to the World Motor Sports Council to determine whether penalties need to be handed out.
The AGPC have asked to be given until 30 June to submit a review.
