During Sunday's German GP, Mark Webber had an unsafe release in the pit lane. Basically what happened is that his right rear tyre was not completely fastened to his car. Unkowningly, the crew in the front lowered his car for release and Mark quickly began to leave the pit lane. The wheel detached from the car and flew through the Mercedes pit crew, before hitting Paul Allen who is a FOM Cameraman.
He is currently being held in a hospital in Koblens and is conscious, but pretty badly injured. Allen has suffered 2 broken ribs, a broken collar bone and cuncussion.
We hope he recovers soon and that he is feeling better. Thoughts are with him and his family.
As for Mark Webber - He was not given a penalty, although Redbull Racing was for "Unsafe Release in the pit lane".
