The 2013 Singapore GP was the scene of a laugh riot in its closing stages. Sebastian Vettel may have comfortably won the race but he was hardly the talk of the town after all was said and done.

Fernando Alonso, who had secured a podium finish, found himself on a cool-down lap when he spotted Mark Webber's Red Bull in flames on turn 7. The Aussie happened to be looking for a ride to the pits and his fellow driver readily obliged. What ensued was a nervy yet hilarious drive back to the pit-lane for the Spaniard who had fans cheering for him and the man he now had sitting on the top of his Ferrari.

Both received reprimands for the action, however, with Webber even receiving a ten-place grid penalty for the next race.
