SINGAPORE: Red Bull’s Mark Webber faces a 10-place grid penalty at the Korean Grand Prix after being reprimanded for hitching a lift on Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari at the end of Sunday’s race in Singapore.

The reprimand was the Australian’s third of the season, which means that under Formula One regulations he will collect the automatic grid sanction. He had previously been reprimanded in Bahrain and Canada.

Alonso was also reprimanded for driving the car “in a manner which could be deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers or any other person”.

Stewards noted in a statement, after meeting the drivers and team representatives and examined video evidence, that two cars had to take avoiding action as a result.

Webber had pulled over on the last lap after his car’s engine ran dry of water and caught fire. (Reuters)
