The automobile won. But Webber is ok, just broke his leg and underwent surgery. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7743308.stm

He is going to come back to a new car built around Vettel:rofl:

If he did not have bad luck he would have none at all.

:laugh:

If he'd had Hamilton's bike, he could have won the Tour de France.

My father if he was a betting man would put money on Webber to win the championship. The last time a race driver broke a leg in preseason was Schumacher and IIRC he won the championship.

Unless the hospital has a new program to splint his leg with a Ferrari or McLaren chassis, I have serious doubts of history repeating itself.

Indeed. Webber will be lucky to be the #1 Red Bull driver next year, let alone #1 in the championship.
