Webber happy with sixth on grid
Jaguar Racing has promised throughout the Candian Grand Prix weekend to come up with a decent qualifying position, and Mark Webber delivered with sixth on the grid for Sunday's race
Webber was actually quicker than pole position man Ralf Schumacher of Williams at the first sector split, but slipped back over the rest of the lap. The Australian was almost 20kph slower than Schumacher on the long straight, however, but his time was good enough for sixth alongside Rubens Barrichello's Ferrari.
"I'm delighted to have secured P6 and I don't think there is anything more I could have done out there," said Webber. "That was about as perfect a lap as I could have hoped for and very pleasing given how difficult it is to get all the braking points right around this circuit. The dry track conditions have obviously helped us today and combined with the Michelin rubber, the car worked very well indeed.
"We changed quite a few things on the car from this morning to suit the dry conditions and combined with the thorough data we gathered yesterday from the two-hour test, the team's preparation has been nothing short of impressive."
