Red Bull target push for fourth

Red Bull Racing plan a renewed push for fourth place in the constructors championship after losing ground to midfield rivals Toyota and Renault in recent races

The team had a firm grasp on the hotly contested fourth spot after the Monaco Grand Prix, but have been pushed down to sixth as Toyota and Renault have improved their form in the mid part of the season.

Red Bull have now not scored in the last four races, while Toyota and Renault have both been on the podium. The increased competitiveness of their second drivers, Timo Glock and Nelson Piquet, have lifted Toyota and Renault 11 and seven points respectively clear of Red Bull.

But Mark Webber, who has scored 18 of Red Bull's 24 points this season, says the team will be working hard to regain the spot, estimated to be worth US$20 million.

"It is significant and it would be nice to get it," the Australian told this week's Autosport. "(Team boss) Dietrich Mateschitz is very keen on it and there's always pressure.

"We've been told what we've got to try to achieve, but I don't think he's going to sack 200 people if we finish fifth."
