An overzealous fan nearly ruined Australian Formula One star Mark Webber’s home grand prix on Saturday, when a garage intrusion led to a vital aerodynamic component being broken less than an hour before qualifying.
 
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Webber’s garage was sent into a mad panic when the fan eluded staff on a VIP garage tour to get a closer look at the multimillion-dollar Red Bull Renault and broke the air box when leaning on the car for a photo.
 
Team Red Bull reportedly had only one replacement for the vital component in reserve, and faced a race against time to get Webber’s car ready for the qualifying session. 
 
Luckily for Webber, the car was able to be fixed in time and didn’t affect his performance.
 
The 34-year-old qualified third on grid behind teammate and reigning champion Sebastian Vettel, and McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton.
