Mark Webber... serious accident.Mark Webber... serious accident.

Former Formula One driver Mark Webber has “no recollection” of the high-speed crash that left him “bruised and concussed” at the World Endurance series race in Brazil, on Sunday.

The 38-year-old Australian’s Porsche 911 made contact with Matteo Cressoni’s Ferrari on the final corner of the six-hour race in Sao Paulo and slammed into a track barrier.

A statement on his website said he suffered “bruising and concussion.”

Webber added: “I’ve got no recollection of the accident or how it happened – the team is looking into the details to find out more.

“I’m quite sore this morning and am pretty bruised and have got a stinking headache.

“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.

“On a positive note it’s great that the boys in car no. 14 managed to bring home the win which is a fantastic way to finish off the season.”

Webber was taken to hospital in Sao Paulo where he will undergo further checks before returning to the UK later this week.

Former Red Bull driver Webber joined the Porsche team in the Endurance series where he finished ninth overall.
