Happy Webber Says There's More to Come

Australian Mark Webber was encouraged after scoring points for the fourth time in five races at today's European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring.

Australian Mark Webber was encouraged after scoring points for the fourth time in five races at today's European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring.

Webber, who out of the last five races has only failed to score at the Monaco Grand Prix, finished in a season-best sixth position after a long battle with BAR's Jenson Button. The Jaguar driver was delighted with the reliability of his car and is confident he will score again before the end of the season.

"A tough and sometimes frustrating race but one which has given us three more championship points â€" both on the Constructor's and Driver's table," said Webber. "I'm a little disappointed not to have achieved a better balance on the car and at times, the rear tyres were simply too good.

"The balance of the car was very good and Michelin have done an incredible job here this weekend. The reliability is also clearly much better and with seven races left on the calendar, we are far from finished in the points battle."

Brazilian teammate Antonio Pizzonia had a tough race and went on to finish in 10th position one lap down.

"A frustrating race for me in that there was some confusion between myself and the pit-crew when it came to the tyre change during my second stop," said Pizzonia, who received a ten-second penalty for speeding in the pitlane.

"We are looking into how this happened, but it appears that the wrong tyres were put onto my car and this didn't make for an easy race."
