Mark Webber

Mark Webber Instagram – Imola this weekend and a very important thumbs up here.
Sometimes you’ll see drivers single out someone in their team and give them a note of appreciation, it could be something different/special that made the difference on that particular day.
20 years ago I raced in the curtain raiser before the F1 race and I was in a little bit of bother in the build up. 🥴
I managed to fracture a few ribs on the Wednesday of that week(we won’t go into that) and wasn’t sure how they would feel jumping all the kerbs necessary to be quick at that venue.
1st practise wasn’t pretty at all, sharp pain was the order of the day for all of the laps.🤦🏻‍♂️🤪
So, ring @micksdoohan on the Friday night and ask him is Dr Costa around? Luck would have it yes he is, race day. 💪🏼
Dr Costa said “meet me in the medical centre as late as possible before the race”. I took the car to grid, jumped out and went to visit him(and his massive needle) to block the pain in that area.
Race was smooth and pain free and managed a big win. 👌🏽
The second time I saw him that day was him standing under the podium very proud and pumped up Italian style.
So there it was, the 👍🏼 for the key man that day. | Posted on 12/Apr/2021 22:05:09
