JEREZ: Mark Webber has peace of mind when he puts his foot down now that he has had a 38cm long titanium rod removed from his leg.
The Red Bull Formula One driver made light of the surgery, which he had over the winter, after his first day in the cockpit at the Jerez test track but recognised that it was one less thing to worry about.
“I felt pretty comfortable pretty quickly,” he told reporters. “The leg’s no problem at all. I’m probably a little bit behind on condition but not much. I’ll be ready to go for Melbourne, I’m clearly on target so that’s all fine. I felt better in the car than I probably thought I would, actually. It will be fine. When the adrenalin’s going, it’s zero problems.”
