Mark WEBBER seriously injured in collision.

[Spanrz]

Ahhh, do you know how many times I've stayed up late, only to watch a DNF.
Gone to work bleary eyed!

Put my heart and soul into Webber.

the guy deserves some credit for doing these events, when he could be sitting at home watching the v8's on the tv with a can in his hand. instead he is of working his butt off for those less fortunate

Webber wouldn't sit down and watch the V8's...

... he would be bored to tears watching that!!!!

Man there are some low life's in this forum. Critisizing a driver who has been in an accident while organising and participating in a charity event.

There have also been insinuations about his lack of talent and what not, but how many of the critics actually follow f1 closely or have an informed opinion, other than "his cars dnf way too much so its his fault". Going by that logic, nico rosberg or jenson button (both highly redgarded in the f1 circle) must be a crap driver because they are finishing at the back of the grid more often than not.

The guy has acheived far more than any of the so called v8superstars who are worshipped in this forum. Working his way up from minardi, to jag to williams which was one of the best teams at the time (not to mention being offered the renault drive). He was regarded as a potential world champion by michael shumacher. There was an article on itv (2-3 mnths ago) about the lack of recognition and his chances if driving a mclaren or ferrari.

Not everyone has to support the guy, but atleast have some credibility and constructive comments when critisizing the guy. If that level of integrity and class is below most people here, then atleast have the decency not to attack a guy who has been in a serious accident.

relax man, yes it was a bad accident, but he's ok. I could almost guarantee that everyone who posted in this thread would want to see Mark Webber succeed in F1. However like a lot of Aussies we make fun at other peoples expense, doesent mean we want them to fail just making light of the situation.

Plus! I just heard Roy and HG making jokes about it on triplej, and if they aren't Australias ultimate moral beacons then i just dont know whats real anymore.

I heard that the 4x4 that he ran into came in from a side track that wasn't blocked off, the road was closed, the Police said there will be no charges for the driver.

Relax, he's only got minor broken leg and he'll be fit to race at the first GP in 2009.
