Glad to hear it's not too bad. I remember a few years ago at the F3000 race at Spa helping Sid Watkins carry him to the medical car following an enormous off at Radillon on the first lap.
Then in a following F1 race he had a shunt at La Source on the first lap and lost his front wing end plate which I scooped up and brought it back with me. It went on E bay and I sold it to the chairman of the Mark Webber fan club in Australia, who took it to a meeting and Mark then signed it.
He did send me a photo of it with the sig on but I appear to have lost it in my PCs black hole !!

He had a near miss this year before Monaco when one of the group he was riding with was knocked over by a car.
He was less shaken driving a Merc at Le Mans in 99 ;D
