That looks dodgy to me (critical condition but McLaren are still discussing whether he can race? Em, what?) and googling seems to suggest his website's been hacked. Picture's apparently over a year old and not even Jenson's car.

Maybe change the title to include "hoax", so others don't get that tingle of alarm, as I did?
