Top 10 Funniest Moments From The F1 2013 Season

We run you through the 10 funniest moments of the 2013 Formula 1 season

18 May 2015

1. Jeepgate

When the Jeep safety car was deployed at the Korean Grand Prix, we were all shocked and confused with its poor timing. It was terrifically funny to witness, however...

2. "Welcome home Lewis"

Lewis Hamilton suffered brain fade at the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix. He eventually finished the race in third place but that wasn't before taking to the McLaren pit box despite leaving the team two months earlier to move to Mercedes.

3. Runaway Marussia

Jules Bianchi's Maurssia suffered an engine failure on lap 23 of the German Grand Prix, resulting in a fire. He swiftly parked his car and hopped out but his car started rolling downhill. Someone obviously forgot to put on the handbrake...

4. Over he goes

Mark Webber finished the final F1 race of his career on the podium, but he got a bit overexcited when spraying the celebratory champagne and fell over. At least he seemed to find it just as hilarious as we did...

5. Ecclestone confused by door

Bernie Ecclestone made quite an entrance outside the High Court in November after failing to negotiate a revolving door. The pint-sized F1 boss was rather awkwardly stuck outside, in front of photographers and journalists, before a female onlooker came to his rescue.

6. Donuts galore

More fun than funny, but it was great to see drivers celebrating in style this season. Vettel sparked the donut trend in India and was fined as a result, but that didn't stop the likes of Webber and Felipe Massa joining in the fun. Plus, that sound...

7. Webber caught in the act

Mark Webber was caught red handed on the Spa-Francorchamps track walk, just prior to the Belgian Grand Prix. He was snapped checking out Jenson Button's girlfriend Jessica Michibata. Can you really blame him? Plus, his tweet when he found out about the picture was equally brilliant...

Mmm ok... Just once @JensonButton that's ok huh??? pic.twitter.com/AZqXz7E3wz— Mark Webber (@AussieGrit) August 23, 2013

8. Niki won't be happy

British radio station Heart had one of the biggest facepalm moments in the season. They called three-time F1 champion Niki Lauda an "elderly fan" when he was photographed meeting David Beckham. The hilarious caption fail was consistently brought up in Formula 1 commentary for the remainder of the season.

9. Kobay-crashi

This has to be one of the most awkward moments from 2013. Kamui Kobayashi was driving a 2009 Ferrari F1 car in a street demo in Moscow when he crashed after a failed burnout in slippery conditions.

10. Kimi calls it a day

This was typical Kimi. After crashing out of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on lap one, he didn't bother watching the rest of the race. Instead, he made a swift departure. It was the last we would see of him this season after he decided to undergo back surgery and miss the final two races.
