Mark Webber believes his recovery from his broken leg is ahead of schedule as he gets ready to return to a Formula 1 williepit for the first time in three months at Jerez next week.
The Australian has also dismissed lingering doubts that he won’t be fully race fit in time for the first grand prix of the season, insisting he will be “100% ready” for his home event at the end of March.
Webber has undergone an intensive period of rehabilitation since having a rod and three pins inserted into his right leg following a road accident during his charity bike race in Tasmania in November.
All along the 32-year-old has targeted the first test of Red Bull’s new RB5 car, which launches on Monday, as the date for his track return.
And after making significant progress in his recovery recently – including sessions in a cryogenic chamber – Webber is bullish about his improving fitness.
“The results over the last few weeks have been incredible,” he told RBR’s official website.
