Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton made an unfortunate error during the Malaysian GP when he drove into his old McLaren pits.
The 28-year-old drove into McLaren's pit box, where he was quickly waved through by his former team's pit crew before finally changing tyres with his new team.
Hamilton eventually finished third at Sepang, behind a Red Bull one-two of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber, but ahead of team-mate Nico Rosberg in fourth, although that was with intervention from team boss Ross Brawn after Rosberg twice complained he was quicker than Hamilton.
Brawn, however, replied: "Negative Nico, negative. Lewis's pace is what we are asking him to do. He can go a lot faster as well, so please be in control as well. There is a massive gap behind and nothing to gain in front. I want to bring both cars home."
After pulling into the pits and being thanked by Brawn for a good drive, Rosberg replied: "Remember this one."
