Happy Webber Hopes for Reliability

Australian Mark Webber is hoping for reliability in tomorrow's Canadian Grand Prix after a strong performance has put the Jaguar driver in a good position ahead of the race.

Australian Mark Webber is hoping for reliability in tomorrow's Canadian Grand Prix after a strong performance has put the Jaguar driver in a good position ahead of the race.

Webber, who failed to finish at the Monaco Grand Prix due to mechanical problems, posted the sixth fastest time in today's final qualifying session, and he is hoping he will be able to make it to the end of the race and score more points.

"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.

"We are very well placed to make a points challenge tomorrow but this will be dictated mainly through reliability. The guys haven't stopped working since our unfortunate and premature Monaco exit and let's hope we can repay their hard work with some points tomorrow."

Webber's Brazilian teammate Antonio Pizzonia, fastest in Friday's practice, wound up 13th quickest more than a second behind the Australian.

"I am pleased with my lap time, albeit I lost a couple of tenths through understeer at the first corner," admitted Pizzonia. "As one of the first guys out, you don't take full advantage of rubber being laid onto the track but that's the way it goes.

"Given the strategy I am on for tomorrow's race, my overall performance today is pleasing and I am looking forward to racing around this circuit tomorrow."
