Mark Webber Seriously Hurt in Car Accident

Hope he gets well soon and he's able to make it to the grid in March!

 

I hope he gets well soon.

 

it sounds very bad.

 

best to Mark...........

 

It doesn't look too serious:

 

well, a broken bone normally heals between 2-3 months, so lucky he didn't have this accident around December.

 

He will be ok, it's just a scratch for a Aussie that init ...!

 

"Tis but a mere flesh wound!"

"She'll be 'right mate! No worries!"



Seriously - Hope he gets well soon.

Cheers,
Ian

 

6-8 weeks. 1 1/2 - 2 months.

 

Yep me too

 

For some reason I read Tasmania as Tanzania and I was trying to figure out what Mark Webber was doing in Africa. Hope Mark is alright, he seems like a pretty good guy.

 

Hope he's alright; The world needs more back markers!

 

a broken leg will take a lot of rehab so in addition to 6-8 weeks of healing he'll need another 2-3 months of rehab depending on the location and severity of the break. fortunately he will be back and be just fine, this will just be a rough 4 months for him. best to him hope he gets better soon

 

He should be ok by next season, but might fall behind a bit in testing. The rigorous training in F1 could help his recovery.
The thread title was a bit misleading though.

 

Glad he's alright.

 

Dang, you beat me to it!

 

Damn. Luckely its during the off season, he'll miss a few practise sessions for sure but also he'll be out of action fitness wise also.

 

I wonder how they'll deal with this on Top Gear, unless they filmed all the Stig segments already.

 

The thread title is all that was initially known - the more limited nature of the injury was revealed later. Hopefully his fitness and best possible care will get him to the starting line in the best possible condition!!


Edit: missed that p2 post!!

 

Yeah thread title made it seem that he had a car accident ... not true, he had a bicycle accident that involved a car.

He's an Aussie he will be fine.
