Webber concerned about race prospects
Australian Mark Webber says he is concerned about his prospects for tomorrow's Hungarian Grand Prix, despite a strong qualifying performance
The Williams driver, looking for his first points since the San Marino Grand Prix, will start the race from fifth position after a strong showing at the Hungaroring.
But his car's handling over long runs has left Webber concerned about his chances for Sunday.
"Starting from fifth place on the grid is obviously positive, but I am a little bit concerned about the race because the car has been a bit tricky on long runs this weekend," said Webber.
"However, we must capitalise on this good starting position and we'll give our all to ensure everything goes well in the race."
German teammate Nico Rosberg had a disappointing day after failing to make the first cut. He will line up 18th.
"It was generally difficult for me today because I was experiencing much more grip on my new tyres than I had in the morning and I had to get used to everything very quickly," he said.
"It was going well until the final sector of my last lap, but then I pushed too hard and braked too late and lost about six tenths, which put me out of the top 16.
"The track conditions we are experiencing here are unexpected so it's definitely going to be an interesting race. It won't be easy for me starting from behind, but we will see how it goes."
