Yeah, and he had an alligator stuck to his **** when he crashed in Korea as well, and a shark bit him on the face at some point too. And also, get this, a Kangaroo actually stole his car during a race weekend and sold it to some wallabys, and his right hand was eaten by monkies...
But this in no way is an excuse for loosing the title. Not at all, nope, never. It also definitely wasn't because he simply didn't drive well enough, but definitely wasn't his shoulder either. Definitely not an excuse. Nope. Definitely not. Even though it would have been difficult.
You can just imagine him in an interview in Australia and someone asks him why he lost the title and he replied in a massively stereotypical Australian accent "yeah, well, ya see, I had this broken shoulder like....."
Seb beat you Mark, get over it.
