Alonso reprimanded for picking up Australian hitchhiker. Weber reprimanded, too,
Red Bull Formula One F1 driver Mark Webber and Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso have been reprimanded by the FIA Stewards following a visit to their trackside office. The Stewards talked to Webber and Alonso and reviewed video evidence and found them committed a breach of the regulations.
At the end of the 2013 Singapore Grand Prix, Webber's Red Bull stopped at the side of the track due to an apparently engine failure. Alonso stopped, and gave Webber a ride back to the garages. For many fans, it was an inspiring sight.
Webber was found in breach of Article 30.9 (b) of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations by going "onto the track without the permission of Marshals".
The Stewards said, "the driver of car 2 entered the track without the marshal's permission between the commencement of the formation lap and the time when the last car enters parc fermé."
Alonso was found in breach of 30.13 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. The Stewards said, "The driver of car 3 drove the car in a manner which could be deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers or any other person. In this case, two cars had to take avoiding action as a result."
No word on any penalties yet.
UPDATE
Mark and Fernando both received a warning. Since Mark had two warnings already, he will suffer a 10 place grid penalty on the next race.

Word is Webber got a 10 place grid penalty. I think it's awesome actually. He doesn't care about points, but starting low on the grid could see him enjoy some good fights.

At this point Webber could probably leave by pissing all over Bernie's shirts or something.
Perhaps have some dingos steal his babies.
I don't know, maybe call Hugh Jackman and cause some shenanigans.

I'd pay to see that.

Running on to the track despite the marshalls telling him not to? Reprimand deserved. His other reprimands adding up is entirely his problem.

I'd say Russle Crow, he'll just beat the shit out of Bernie and be done with it.

And then after you and him can go get roaring drunk and punch kangaroos in the face.
