VIDEO: Ferrari extinguish fire on Toro Rosso car!
Sebastian Vettel spotted the blaze.
Ferrari mechanics had to spring to the aid of the Toro Rosso counterparts after Alexander Albon's brakes caught fire as he waited to move onto the weighbridge following Friday practice at the Chinese Grand Prix. Ferrari were on the scene as Sebastian Vettel had also been called.
Vettel somewhat oddly overshot the weighbridge as he did not immediately realise he had to go to be weighed.
However, the error proved to work in the favour of Albon, as Vettel spotted his brakes overheating and called on Ferrari's mechanics to help extinguish the fire.
Seb = the hero @ToroRosso deserves 👊 🔥#Race1000 #ChineseGP @ScuderiaFerrari pic.twitter.com/gOJPF7CKhq
