Happy Webber targets 'good points'
Mark Webber is targeting "good points" in tomorrow's Turkish Grand Prix after yet another strong qualifying performance
Webber made up for the disappointment of yesterday's practice crash to qualify in sixth place, equaling his best performance of the season.
"It's good to get P6 today, after letting the team down yesterday with a bit of a shunt," said the Red Bull driver. "The only downside of today's result is that we're on the left-hand side of the grid, but, apart from that, it went very well.
"We're in reasonable shape to get some good points tomorrow, we'll just have to keep our nose clean and have good clean pitstops.
"It's going to be an interesting race, the team has done a great job today - to get both cars into Q3 was a good effort."
David Coulthard also made it to the top ten, for the second time this year. The Scot was unable to qualify higher than 10th, however, after running out of options tyres before Q3.
"I'm happy to be through to the top ten after problems at the last two grands prix," he said. "We used all our option tyres to get there though, two sets in Q1 and two sets in Q2, as I didn't want to take any risks.
"As a result, we only had primes left at the end. We only did one run in Q3 as we wanted to save fuel, so the car was very heavy."
