    According to the BBC Mark Webber drove the last four races of the season with a broken shoulder. He sustained it while out training on a mountain bike.

    Fair play to him. I like how he kept it from Horner!:D

    He really needs to stay off bikes :(

    Keeping it from Horner only serves to state that Webber is deeply unhappy in that team. Maybe for his own good, & mental well bing he should look at other options? Although after his contract runs out post 2011 season maybe he'll jump ship?

    Can you honestly see Webber giving Horner the satisfaction of handing him a P45? :p Webber will go of his own accord, before being given the bullet I reckon. I wonder who RB have their eye on for his seat a this stage.

    Kinda, but also if he'd said anything he may not have been allowed to race, I'd say that was the main reason.

    Agreed about staying off the bikes!

    I can only assume that what is holding him back from leaving RB is the uncertainty of who would pick him up. He has a good car under him and a good team around him at Red Bull, even if they do see Vettel as their number 1 and will do so even more now that he is champion. This is his best chance of winning races and competing at the top of the standings. Hes not going to get signed by McLaren or Ferrari, or even the likes of Mercedes. I think hell stick it out at RB for one more season at least and see if he can give it another crack next year.

    Last 3 races with a broken shoulder, He raced half the season with a chip on his shoulder. :D

    Nice bit of pre Christmas marketing for the book.
