Another engine issue caused Fernando Alonso to pull off track in the first segment of qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix. Earlier in the season he probably would have headed straight back to the garage to speed through his media commitments and travel back to his hotel.

However, at Interlagos he instead opted to grab a deck chair, sit back, relax and soak up the sunshine. The Spaniard even gave the camera a cheeky wink too.
