Sebastian Vettel’s German GP week did not get off to the best of starts, when he injured a leg while out training. However, Vettel was reassured when Red Bull boss, Christian Horner, said he could use one of Mark Webbers.

Webber does it again!
As if his troubles in Valencia were not enough, Mark Webber was this morning involved in a spectacular 30mph shunt, when he ran into the back of a London bus in Westminster.
Webber was slipstreaming the No 47 to Marylebone… hoping to get past it before the next set of traffic lights when he misjudged the closing speed between his car and the double decker, ploughing into the back of it.
The bus driver, Steve Hull, 59, defended himself saying he had position and that Webber probably just missed his braking point.
Again.

Adrian Newey designs new F1 charger for Sebastian Vettel
Next time he comes across Mark Webber on the race track, Sebastian can just fly over the top, rather than smack into the side of him.
Red Bull Turkey shunt explained
Red Bull engineer’s have discovered what caused the embarrassing collision between Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel while the two were cruising to a 1-2 finish in Sunday’s race.
On board footage show’s Vettel’s car, Randy Mandy, suddenly and unexpectedly turning in… on Webbers motor, Bruce.
At first the blame was laid at Sebastian’s door but detailed analysis of Mandy’s telemetry shows that it is actually her time of the month and she was in a foul mood with Bruce, who like all men in such a situation, was blissfully unaware of this until Mandy ‘went off on one’.
Said a Red Bull team member, “We looked at the data on Mandy and discovered that Liverpool were playing at home and that earlier in the week Bruce had left the toilet seat up, this was simmering with her until lap 41 of the Turkish Grand Prix when she finally exploded, giving poor old Bruce both barrels.”
The team are confident that Mandy will be randy again in time for the Canadian round in two weeks time and normal service will be resumed.
Webber causes brain pain in Spain
Spanish Grand Prix winner, Mark Webber, may have thought that lobbing his helmet into the crowd after the race was a good thing but it has landed him in trouble, after his lid whacked an unsuspecting fan right on the… noggin.
Local man, Antonio Fargus, 23, was busy working out new racist chants with his mates when the 1.2 kilo helmet knocked him for six and earned him a trip to Barcelona General. Worse still, somebody else pinched the prized piece of memorabilia which will no doubt be on eBay’s Spanish site by the end of the day.
Fargus has already been contacted by ‘Injuries ‘r’ us’ who on a no-win-no fee basis, expect to sting Webber and his insurance company for ‘literally tens of euros’, while others in the grandstand applauded the aussie, saying the incident was the only exciting thing to have happened all afternoon.
Rubens grabs first Williams win for nearly six years!
Williams F1 driver, Rubens Barrichello, is reported to be delighted after winning the first race for the team since Juan Pablo Montoya’s victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix in 2004.
After four days, the results of the first Volcano Grand Prix… are in, with Barrichello being the first driver to get back home, arriving in Sao Paulo in a time of 25 hrs, 14 mins, 3.15 secs.
The Brazilian veteran finished a considerable way ahead of second placed Jaime Alguersuari who took 40 hrs, 19 mins, 8.98 secs to get back to Barcelona and third placed Mark Webber who took 44hrs, 5 mins, 9.88 secs to get the key in the door of his Oxford home.
Barrichello put his win down to an ash-avoiding one stop strategy with Emirates Airlines while Alguersuari and Webber both made upwards of five stops each.
Many other drivers are still en-route while some did not even make the start, preferring instead to relax on a Thai beach with a Japanese lingerie model.
Brundle reveals Webber’s fantasy – breakfast then ruined for millions.
As Mark Webber and Nico Rosberg battled it out on the Melbourne track, the BBC’s Martin Brundle made viewers choke on their cornflakes, as he revealed that Webber’s pet name for Rosberg was ‘Britney’, in reference to the once hot… but now not so appealing songstress, Britney Spears.
Male viewers swamped the BBC switchboard complaining that while they initially liked the thought of Britney in her schoolgirl uniform, they could not now get the image of Nico in drag out of their mind.
While co-commentator, Jonathan ‘Headmaster Delivery’ Legard was for once speechless, plainly unaware of who Britney Spears was, Brundle vainly tried to shoe in a Britney song title before realising he didn’t know one.
The joke could have worked had it been about the other Nico (Hulkenberg) who will not be asking Kamui Kobayashi to ‘Hit me baby one more time’.
Australia honours Webber with soft scoop
While we in the UK have Heston Blumenthal and his egg and bacon ice cream, you have to say that the Australians are not far behind in the culinary stakes with this, Red Bull flavoured ice cream in honour of… local hero Mark Webber.
We don’t think they did anything other than plonk a can of Red Bull on the vanilla section but it’s the thought that counts.
