Mark Webber has successfully undergone surgery on his left leg following a cycling accident in 2008 when he collided with a car.
The Red Bull driver had a pin inserted into his leg prior to the 2009 season and required further surgery.
Webber tweeted from his hospital bed a photo of his breakfast and a reassuring message to his fans that all was well.
“Hospital trip planned a while back, I needed further surgery from previous injury. All good and on the mend,” he wrote.
The Australian also fractured his shoulder in a separate incident in 2010 – which he kept quiet from the team until the end of the season.
