Webber Hindered by Electrical Problem

Australian driver Mark Webber was disappointed after finishing in a poor 13th position at today's San Marino Grand Prix.

Australian driver Mark Webber was disappointed after finishing in a poor 13th position at today's San Marino Grand Prix.

"That was a difficult race for us this afternoon," admitted Webber, who had qualified in eighth place with his Jaguar. "After all our hard work this weekend it would have been rewarding to have finished higher up the grid.

"However, saying that we all know that we have to take the rough with the smooth and today has been one of the rougher days. We will be working hard over the next two weeks ahead of Barcelona when we will come back and aim for some points."

Webber said he had suffered a sudden lose of power halfway through the race, his engineers determining an intermittent electrical problem. His teammate Christian Klien also endured a tough race and could only finish in 14th place.

"I am really disappointed with how today has finished for me," said Klien. "All things considered it was not a good race for me and I am frustrated that I could not have done more for the team.

"My mechanics and engineers have done a fantastic job all weekend especially when they had to change my chassis over yesterday morning in time for qualifying. I am looking forward to Barcelona though as this is one of the tracks that I have been to many times before in a Formula One car."
