Mark Webber hit with penalty after Fernando Alonso lift

Mark Webber is given a 10-place grid penalty for hitching a lift back to the pits on Fernando Alonso's car during the Singapore Grand Prix.

Red Bull driver Mark Webber has been hit with a 10-place grid penalty for getting a lift to the pits on top of Fernando Alonso's Ferrari on Sunday.

Both drivers were given reprimands for the incident, and the Australian will now serve his punishment at the Korean Grand Prix.

Webber retired on the final lap of the Singapore Grand Prix at the weekend and was therefore stranded on Turn Seven, before Alonso stopped and allowed the 37-year-old to climb onto his car and head back to the pits.

The reprimand was Webber's third of the season, which results in a 10-place grid penalty for his next outing.

His previous two incidents were in Bahrain for a collision with Nico Rosberg and for not slowing down sufficiently for yellow caution flags in Canada.
