Pleased Webber Targets Points

Australian Mark Webber is targeting his second consecutive points finish of the season in tomorrow's Hungarian Grand Prix.

Australian Mark Webber is targeting his second consecutive points finish of the season in tomorrow's Hungarian Grand Prix.

The Jaguar driver, who scored his best result of the year with a sixth place at the German Grand Prix three weeks ago, will start tomorrow's race from 11th place.

Webber said he was pleased with his performance, although he admitted he had been too conservative at the start of his flying lap.

"Going into qualifying this afternoon it did look at if it may rain at one stage so I was pleased to complete my lap in the dry," admitted Webber. "My first sector was perhaps marginally conservative but you have to be careful with that first corner under braking. I made up some time in both the second and third sectors so I was relatively pleased with my time and position.

"This track has been historically much hotter so the lower temperatures are making it more interesting for us. I think the race tomorrow is going to be quite exciting and I am certainly looking forward to it, let's see what happens but we have laid some good foundations and points will of course be our goal".

Webber finished ahead of his Austrian teammate Christian Klien, who wound up 14th quickest in the second Cosworth-powered Jaguar.

"Going into qualifying I was happy with my tyre choice and I am pleased with my final time of 1:21.118," said Klien. "It's my best lap of the weekend although as always I would have liked to have extracted a few more tenths out of the third sector.

"Looking ahead to tomorrow, it's not going to be any easy race but we knew that before we came here. Overtaking is not easy and the start is all-important. I am looking forward to getting behind the wheel for the race and I will be giving it my best shot. Points would be reward for the team's hard work so lets just see what I can do."
