Ridiculous DIY scenes at the Grand Prix practice sessions in Brazil as Fernando Alonso grabbed a fire extinguisher to see to a fire.

The Spaniard’s Ferrari caught fire during the second practice but Alonso, like most lads, was too proud to seek help as he outed the flames.

Confirmation is yet to come surrounding the strong rumours that double world champion Alonso is set to move from Ferrari to McLaren for next season.

McLaren will be delighted to welcome someone who can moonlight as a fireman on his time away from the track.
