Recovering from his horrific crash at Interlagos - of which he has no memory - Mark Webber finds time to congratulate his Porsche teammate's on their victory.
According to an update on the popular Australian's website, Webber spent last night in a local hospital in Sao Paulo where he underwent further checks, having sustained bruising and concussion in the accident.
"I'm quite sore this morning and am pretty bruised and have got a stinking headache," said Webber. "I've got no recollection of the accident or how it happened – the team is looking into the details to find out more.
"Thanks to the medical team at the track and here at the hospital who did a great job and are looking after me very well," he added. "On a positive note it's great that the boys in car no. 14 (Neel Jani, Marc Lieb and Romain Dumas) managed to bring home the victory which is a fantastic way to finish off the season. I'm already looking forward to getting out there again next year."
"Yesterday I was a lucky boy," he subsequently tweeted. "The correct angle of impact saved me. Thanks everybody for your incredible messages and support."
Mark remains under care at the hospital but is set to return to the UK later this week.
We all wish him a speedy recovery.
