    No not good news at all.

    Broken legs can be a real tough injury to heal. But he's in top shape as is most F1 drivers.

    I once herd Webber was only man on the track. All cars has smashed off and all he had to do was Finnish that lap. The powers that be handed the win to the guy he passed before he crashed off starting the chain reaction. Leader on the lap before the accident... I think he eat a few black cats.

    lol that sounds like Dick Johnson at Bathurst in 1992 don't you think :p when Skaife and Richards stacked the Nissan into the wall before it was red flagged, I still remember Jim Richards calling everyone in Australia a pack of ********s, what a nut job. I will admit a few flying cans of beer might have knocked the sense out of him before he made that statement :p

    I find it quite immature that everyone is making a joke out of this, would you find it funny if you were the person hit by a car? I dont think so. Fair enough, bag him on the race track if you like but he is out there racing in top level motorsport and he wouldn't be there if he wasnt a good driver in fact i'd say he's a better driver than alll the internet experts on here.
    I can't beleive that you'd be making light of the serious acccident he's been in. I hope next time one of your family members or friends is in a serious accident you post it up so i can make fun of their situation.

    Sure he's been in a crash, but its just a broken leg. He's not at risk of dying.

    He hasn't done anything with the chances he's been given, so of course he'll score a bad rep.

    Chances he's been given?? What are they? You can't go into motorsport and expect to jump into a car and win. You can't put it all on the driver. There are extremely good drivers in F! that finish outside of the top ten in most of their races these people have previously been at the top finishing on pole and coming close if not winning F1 world championship.
    So now all of a sudden they're no good because they're BAr honda red bull or some other team thats not mercedes mclaren of ferarri??

    Vettel has shown what his current car is capable of.
    He hasn't set the world on fire, ever. A few good qualifying results, only to end up almost last everytime, then to crash out. The team is not ****, M Webber is compared to the other drivers around him.

    And yes, you can walk into F1 and be at the top, Or Did you not notice this years WDC?

    Hmm lets remember japan last year? when mark webber was in second or third and vettel ran up his arse and wrote both cars off? Also the 2 red bull team arent the same Vettels car run a ferarri engine compared to webbers renualt engine its been proven all year that the ferarri powered red bull is leagues ahead in speed and power.
    Hamilton is a good driver but he's also in the best car out on the track david coulthard has less points than webber yet when he drove for mercedes he was 3rd in the WDC?
    Having the right team and car makes a huge difference between coming 10th and coming 1st
