Roy Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 So everyone wondering why Webber maybe lost a bit of pace towards the end of the season when before had the measure of Vettel. Buried deep in his book Up Front, which was launched last Wednesday comes the revelation ... One can only assume Webber hasnt wanted to highlight the fact he drove in the last four races of the year with a fractured right shoulder because he didnt want to be seen to be making excuses for the way the world drivers championship slipped from his grasp in the fi nal race in Abu Dhabi. In the book he reveals that, again, bike riding was the catalyst for the latest injury. Mountain biking with a mate while back in Australia between the Singapore and Japanese GPs, the friend crashed and Webber had nowhere to go but over the top of him, or straight between the ears of the horse as he likes to say.

Marlin Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Poor bugger is just bursting with cycling luck! Bloody good excuse to stay on the couch, train by playing F1 2010 on PS3. I can happily say that I'm ready to step in, given I've been training hard whilst all this rain is around.

Not that at all. He just couldn't bear another round of mereciless shellacking from Roy and HG after the sh!t they gave him last time.

Beer Baron Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I'll be surprised if RBR let him anywhere near a tricycle in the near future let alone a big boys mountain bike..... poor webs. I'd be a bit off it too with a fractured shoulder. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/344495-2011-f1-thread/page/4/#findComment-5580665 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 He should spend the off season in a Polish whore house just sitting back and enjoying himself. His usual pre-season prep has not worked for him so far so time for something a little different Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/344495-2011-f1-thread/page/4/#findComment-5580786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolverine Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Webber should be on the phone to Kimi to find out the best way to prepare. A can of coke, an icecream, a few trampy strippers and a bottle of vodka or two. Pre-season sorted.

I won't beleive the broken shoulder thing until I see an xray excuses from his PR company you're a hard man duncan! it wouldn't surprise me if it were true. he's driven a whole race before having spewed in his helmet on teh wamrup lap (seemed to improve his driving too as he was 2nd when rear ended under safety car), he has driven the car whilst the bottom of the seat was scalding his arse so bad he ended up with severe burns and a few weeks lying on his chest. he's certainly driven before with a broken bone or two. webber is a pretty tough little coconut. and not really one to whinge too much.

zebra Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Except Joe Commodore isnt sitting in a carbon fibre tub, with a harness/HANS, Fire proof suit etc. Anyone have any links to the new 4 cylinder turbo rules...bring back the 1400hp 1.5L honda motors or the Ferrari V6 turbo etc, would be cool to see again. Its also a bit of a hark back to the old days, F1 was 1500cc for a long time.
