Webber Pleased Despite Lack of Running

Australian Mark Webber was pleased with his day's work in practice for the German Grand Prix despite failing to set a time in the opening session.

Jaguar driver Webber was 13th fastest in the second session after completing just one lap in the morning as mechanics worked on his car.

"I did my installation lap this morning and was due to go out at the end of the first session when the team took the decision to change my brake ducts," explained Webber. "They had found a problem on Christian and Bjorn's car and to ensure that they did not cause me any difficulties they changed them too.

"I had a good second session this afternoon and managed to complete 27 laps working through a fairly comprehensive programme. We will be concentrating now on our balance and some further tyre work ahead of tomorrow's qualifying."

Austrian Christian Klien was also pleased with his progress in spite of the problems that hit him in the morning. The rookie wound up 15th while test driver Bjorn Wirdheim was the fastest of the Jaguar trio with the 12th quickest time.

"My session was cut short this morning as the team changed my brake ducts but I am happy to say that they turned things around pretty quickly and I was back out on track for the second session," said Klien. "The track is quite green out there but the car is feeling good.

"My programme in the second session was very busy as I was making up for lost time. We did manage to complete our test items though and I am looking forward to getting back behind the wheel for qualifying tomorrow."
