Formula 1 driver, Sebastian Vettel was about 30 minutes into a session, when out of nowhere the vehicle's fire extinguisher set off. Needless to say Vettel was a little surprised when he announced what was happening on the team radio. After the extinguisher went off it apparently stained his racing suit.

They have been dealing with reliability issues all season and this was just par for the course. If they happen to have issues with fire, at least they know the extinguisher works.
Still, Vettel did reach a milestone:
