Webber's broken arm
Well, according to Webber's new book (via James Allen), he sustained a minor fracture in his shoulder before the final four races of the season, which might help to explain his relatively bad form in the final part of the season. What do you think?

Hmmm, wonder what Horner will say. Bit of an awkward position, RedBull the drink of daring, yeah perfect for the mad for it extreme sport dudes, erm only we don't actually want our employees really doing any of those things, they're a trifle dangerous dontchaknow.
As long as Mark is happy to live with the consequences then I'd rather he stay true to himself, at least his misadventures fit in with the brand that pays him.
Also worth keeping in mind, he's still just as unlucky as ever, only know that bad luck is mostly away from the circuit thereby improving his race results

Hmmm. That same James Allen who co-wrote Nigel Mansell's autobiography - he won the '92 championship with a broken ankle and a moustache don't cho know
Strange that Mark made no mention of it.....All other opinions are wrong....

Cos he's always breaking something! If not cars, it's parts of his body!

If this claim is true (and not just some lame excuse as to why he went from leading the WDC to 3rd in four races) then he almost certainly cost himself the WDC and almost cost his team the WCC.
There is a lesson in there somewhere.

he's hardly going to fake a broken shoulder is he?
that said, he says himself he doesn't think it cost him the title, but it sure as hell won't have helped him, if nothing else its interrupts your preparations and is an extra layer of worry to contend with. Fair play to him for managing it behind the scenes at the time though, although i'd imagine Mr Horner won't be too happy about it, they can hardly stop the drivers going out on bikes, a lot of them cycle as part of their fitness regime and anyone can fall over when jogging, cycling etc and break something, althogh it does seem that someone is usually Mark Webber!"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.
