Mark Webber handed a reprimand in Austin after missing a random weight check

Mark Webber has been handed a reprimand by U.S. GP stewards for failing to enter the weighbridge for a random check during qualifying.

The German was very slow on the apex of turn 15 as he created a gap ahead of him before attempting a flying lap - forcing Alonso to abandon a timed lap of his own. The Ferrari driver gesticulated from the cockpit at the rear of the Mercedes whilst shouting "unbelievable Michael, unbelievable Michael" on the radio to the pit-wall. However, with both drivers progressing to the final part of qualifying the stewards decided the seven-time World Champion had not made any indiscretion and no further action was taken.
