Formula 1 2013 may have produced a runaway World Champion but the 19-race campaign still wasn't short of memorable moments.
Alonso gives Webber a lift
September 22 - Singapore GP, Marina BayDrivers stopping to give stranded rivals a lift back to the pits on the sides of their cars at the end of the race have provided some of F1's most enduring images and we got another one in Singapore this year thanks to Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber. Having been forced out of the race late on by an engine fire, Webber re-entered the track on foot after the chequered flag to hitch a ride from Alonso on the Spaniard's Ferrari. But while winning favour with fans, stewards took a different view and reprimanded both drivers for breaking the rules.
Brundle calms boo boys
September 22 - Singapore GP, Marina BayWhether or not directly linked to his actions from Malaysia, persistent booing of Sebastian Vettel became as consistent a feature as the World Champion's race wins during the year. That much was true when the German triumphed again in Singapore and it needed podium compere and Sky Sports F1 commentator Martin Brundle to step-in and appeal to those responsible in the crowd to show the race winner more respect.
The fire truck intervenes
October 6 - Korean GP, YeongamThere were only three cars that led the Korean GP - Sebastian Vettel's Red Bull, Bernd Maylander's Safety Car and...an unknown driver's fire truck! The Vettel-led field were racing towards turn two when the German suddenly encountered a fire vehicle further down the backstraight. The van had been dispatched to attend to Mark Webber's burning Red Bull at turn three but Race Control, and the watching world, were thrown when the vehicle was dispatched from the pitlane rather than closer to the incident.
Vettel's title doughnuts
October 27 - Indian GP, Greater NoidaA special achievement requires a befitting celebration and that - and more - is certainly what Sebastian Vettel provided when he clinched his fourth successive world title with victory at the Indian GP. Deciding on the spur of the moment to break with all established F1 conventions on his slow-down lap back to the pits, Vettel continued back on to the pitstraight where he treated the crowd to a series of smoky tyre-burning doughnuts. That wasn't all, either, as once bringing the RB9 to a halt the clearly ecstatic German then got on his knees in front of the car to bow in appreciation before scaling the fence in front of the grandstand.
Retiring Webber lifts the lid
November 24 - Brazilian GP, InterlagosHaving just brought the curtain down on his life in F1 with a strong drive to second place in Brazil, Mark Webber ensured his career would end on an even more memorable note by taking his crash helmet off on his return to the pits. "The marshals were great, the fans were awesome and just a nice little touch at the end," said the retiring Australian afterwards, having decided to give the watching world the chance to take a unique look into a driver's eyes at the end of a race.
