Ouch!

Get well soon.

Oh st. I hope he isn't injured as badly as the report is suggesting.

[jeevescat]

B0ll0cks!!

The irony, formula One driver seriously injured while out on a bicycle!!

Hope he recovers soon.

[Kinky]

The AutoSport website seems to be more positive ....

Autosport website said:

"Mark's been involved in a minor accident, he's fine," said Webber Challenge media manager Nancy Cook. "He's being treated, he's really disappointed that he's not going to be able to continue but he's well and being looked after."

Fingers crossed.

Get well soon Mark, fingers crossed it isn't as bad as some reports are suggesting.

What's the recovery time for a broken leg normally?

He's going to lose dome serious training and car time. What a shame for him and the team. Get well soon!

BBC news are saying a minimum of 6 weeks.

This doesn't sound too good, hope he's better and well for the new season. I'm sure that will be the first thing on his mind.

Head on colision with a 4x4 though, how did that happen?

Well heres hoping he can get back to training as soon as possible its amazing what the likes of Doctor Trammell and Dr Costa can do with these sports stars i can see a world of pain ahead for Mark but he seems like a tough lad and a very determined one as well he wouldnt be where he is without those qualities , All the best for a speedy recovery .

Get well soon! I wonder if DC's role with RBR will now include some development driving?

[dpbird90]

Let's hope he gets well soon.
I think the BBC might have exaggerated this morning. I originally heard he had broken both legs and might have done his arms in as well, but this was on Radio 1 at 7:30AM, and I was half asleep.

The problem now is, he won't be able to develop the new car to his liking, and there is the chance he will end up with a bit of a dog for 2009, but then again, Vettel should be able to develop the car into a Renault baiter

I wonder if those nay-sayers will realize now why Lewis wasn't allowed to do that triathalon.

Not good pix to see ..

[PH_Scooby]

Get well soon

It's probably a good thing he was hit by a Nissan, could you imagine the conspiracy theories if it had been a Renault, BMW, Toyota or a heaven forbid a Ferrari.

[s3fella]

I know someone at Red Bull who says the word they have back is this is a "nasty" incident, but no big deal, he's expected to make a full and speedy recovery. Apparently, he smacked his face up a bit and looks like he's done a few rounds wtih Ricky Haton, but it looks worse than it is.

Weber out, Coulthard in.
16 races, that 16 laps [total] for DC.
More than likely 16-24 corners, for the season.

Police are questioning the 21 yr old driver of the 4x4.
