Webber Expecting Tough Race

Australian Mark Webber said he faces a hard fight to continue his run of points finishes after qualifying 11th for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Jaguar driver Webber has claimed points finishes in five of the last six races, but he admitted today that problems with his car means he is in for a struggle in Sunday's race.

"We've had a very good run in qualifying but it can't go on forever," said Webber, who was outqualified by 10th-placed teammate Antonio Pizzonia. "We've got a lot of local people here supporting Jaguar and we didn't do the job today. I did the best I could but the car has got quite a few problems with it.

"It has been a tough weekend and getting more points is going to be tough because it will be a hard race for us. But we're used to it and we've just got to get on and do the job. The Michelins are great and now it is up to us to get the job done to the best of the ability on our side."

Webber, 26, has already met his pre-season target of 12 points, but Pizzonia has yet to score his first points in Formula One. The Silverstone qualifying was only the third time Brazilian Pizzonia has outqualified Webber this season and marks the 22-year-old's second best grid position.
