During the Valencia F1 round, Mark Webber was involved in a big shunt with Lotus driver Heikki KOVALAINEN mid way into the race when he came onto the back of the Lotus too fast and flipped into the air taking out an ad sign above ending in the tyre barrier wall at 200+ kmh.

Webber was lucky to have his car flip back onto its wheels otherwise he would have gone straight into the barriers upside down seated in the cockpit. You can see the work FIA has put into safety in F1 today as Mark hopped out of his race car and stepped into the medical car without delay.

Later on he said “he was a bit bruised and whilst going up into mid air afraid if he had have hit a bridge that crosses over the track” as that would have made the accident a whole lot worse. Both drivers were out, and his lead in the world championship affected. McLaren pushed Webber’s team mate the best they could to finish second and third behind Red Bull.

Mark still has a chance to catch the leaders provided he wins or podiums from now on at most events, though I know he would prefer it to be at all remaining events.

Casey Stoner is in the middle of speculation he will leave Ducati for a Honda bike next season. It has been rumoured the engineers for Casey at Ducati were informed they would need to find new jobs in 2011. If this is true, it appears that we will see Valentino Rossi take a Ducati and try to win a world championship for them and himself. Doing that he would be the first rider ever to win Grand Prix Motorcycle World Championships on four different manufacturers across six categories from 125cc to MotoGP and all in between. Casey is having issues with the bike and other slower riders, a few mistakes this season has certainly hindered his title hopes.

And Will Power won his Indycar series race at Watkins Glen on Sunday with fellow Australian Ryan Briscoe second, with Power now leading the championship series in the USA.
