Only bumps & bruises, however I'm sure we all wish him well.           

Older folk need to take extra care, maybe Bernie should invest in a fleet of mobility scooters for the paddock.   

Peter Sauber is sporting some bumps and bruises this weekend following a fall in Melbourne.

Switzerland’s Blick newspaper reports that the 68-year-old team owner and boss fell at the paddock entrance at Albert Park last Sunday, taking the brunt of the impact with his elbow and wrist.

"It still hurts," he admitted. "All I could think of at the time was to protect my face."

Sauber was treated by McLaren doctor Aki Hintsa, who said Sauber was lucky not to have injured himself more badly.

Probably got pushed over by one of Bernie's bodyguards as the munchkin was coming through.
