Frustrated Webber positive

The Australian was given a one-second penalty for failing to slow down while the yellow flags were being waved in Friday's second practice. But he remains undeterred and believes he can bag more points to add to the one he gained at the Bahrain Grand Prix.

"After having a good day yesterday I heard from the FIA Stewards last night that I had been given a one second penalty on my qualifying time from today as a result of not braking under a yellow flag," Webber explained. "We have to respect these rules as they exist for safety reasons but of course it is frustrating for all of us."

"Even with my one-second penalty I will not be starting from the back of the grid. I finished with points here last year and I excited about getting back out on track tomorrow and fighting for some more."

Christian Klien, who finished one place down from Webber in 13th, will be promoted to 12th after his team-mate's penalty is added. The Austrian expected to be higher up the order but, like Webber, he has his eye on the points for tomorrow's (Sunday) race.

"My times were getting quicker as I settled into the car and track. Qualifying this afternoon was in two parts, I went well in the first session but the track changes a lot in a short time and I could feel the difference when I went out for the second time," he said. "My time was not quite as fast but I am still happy with where I am on the grid for tomorrow's race. The race should be interesting and I will be doing what I can to move up the grid in search of my first points."
