Jag duo struck by problems

Jaguar Racing drivers Mark Webber and Bjorn Wirdheim were both struck by hydraulic problems during the opening day's practice sessions for the Canadian Grand Prix

Webber ended the day 15th fastest, with race team-mate Christian Klien 21st and test driver Wirdheim 24th.

"I had hoped to complete more laps in today's session and complete my test programme but my car suffered from what appears to be a hydraulic problem in the second session which the guys are still working on," said Webber. "My running was curtailed as the team worked on the car but from the running that I did do, the R5 generally felt well-balanced. I can't wait to get back out tomorrow and put some more miles on the clock."

Wirdheim said: "I completed my installation lap this morning but we quickly noticed a fuel leak and so returned to the garage. The team did a good job to turn the car around but then there were some problems with the hydraulic system which limited my running for the remainder of the day."
