Brakes the key for Webber

Jaguar Racing's Mark Webber has pin-pointed brake performance as crucial to its chances of scoring points in this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix

Webber, who is hot property on the driver market at the moment, has scored on two occasions this season, and views Montreal as a chance to build on the two points he scored last time out at the Nurburgring. In terms of the constructors' race, Jaguar is one point behind Toyota and two behind McLaren.

"We have been testing in Silverstone [last week] and we were working on brakes so I am confident that the team have pulled together a good package," said Webber. "We also spent time working on additional developments as these tests are really the best opportunity to see how everything works on the car for me as the driver. I now go to Montreal very motivated and with the goal of adding more points to our tally of three so far."

Mark Gillan, Jaguar's head of vehicle performance, said on the subject: "The track is very hard on the brakes and cars regularly lose their brakes altogether. We are confident in this specific area as we have spent much time monitoring wear and optimising cooling and the results are encouraging."
