Jerez de la Frontera, Spain  - Mark Webber returned into the Red Bull Formula One car for tests on Wednesday having recovered from a broken leg sustained less than three months ago.

"I am very relieved," said Webber after a morning session of 48 laps in Jerez de la Frontera.

The Australian Webber broke his right leg on November 22, 2008, when he collided with a car while riding a bike at his own charity event in Tasmania.

Webber said he was ahead of schedule in the healing process but still required light painkillers.
