Australian Mark Webber was pleased after posting the third fastest time in final qualifying for tomorrow's Hungarian Grand Prix.
"I am very happy with that," admitted Jaguar driver Webber after equalling his best qualifying result of the season. "It was a really nice lap and one that I enjoyed immensely. The track was getting a little quicker towards the end but nonetheless, that was a very clean lap. I knew going into the first corner that the lap had potential.
"The added bonus is that I am starting the race on the clean line and maintaining position into the first corner is the challenge. It will not be easy and nor will the race itself. The grid is certainly mixed-up with the Championship fighters behind us and let's hope for a good race tomorrow which rewards us with some much-needed Championship points."
The Australian driver completed another impressive performance to outshine his rookie teammate Justin Wilson, who in only his second race for the Jaguar team was unable to get close to Webber.
Briton Wilson will start from 12th position after setting a lap more than 1.5 seconds than his teammate.
"My lap was an improvement on this morning and I am happy although it could have been better," said Wilson. "There was more time in the car and I just needed more time to extract that. There is an awful lot to learn in what has been a short space of time with Jaguar but I am happy with progress to date."
