MPH: Mark Hughes on...

Webber back in the saddle

"NAH MATE, straight back on the horse," was Mark Webber's typically relaxed answer to whether it was difficult getting back into a Formula 1 car for two days of solid testing just 12 weeks after breaking his leg. "Don't get me wrong. I was very nervous going into it. I'd absolutely buried myself preparing for it and there's a big concern about just how you'll be able to perform. Yet the test itself absolutely wiped away any question marks in my mind."

What wasn't widely known outside of his retinue of medical advisors was that it wasn't only the broken right leg he was recovering from; he also had a fractured shoulder.
