Webber Eyes Points Finish at Imola

Australia's Mark Webber is aiming to score points at tomorrow's San Marino Grand Prix following a promising qualifying performance.

The Jaguar driver, who scored his and his team's first point of the season at the Bahrain Grand Prix three weeks ago, qualified in eighth position with his Cosworth-powered R5 car. Webber is now targeting his second consecutive point-scoring finish.

"I underperformed slightly in my first session so we decided to make a slight change to the front flap to further improve the balance and general set-up of the car," explained Webber. "This seemed to work and I am pleased with my final qualifying position for tomorrow's race.

"I am aiming for some points here at Imola as we know we have a good car with pace on track and if we can capitalise on some attrition then there is no reason why we cannot score some. The circuit is historically hard on the car so we will just have to wait and see what happens. We have the potential."

Austrian Christian Klien was 14th quickest, the rookie lamenting the track time lost following an accident during this morning's first free practice session.

"This morning was disappointing as I did not complete as many laps as I had planned," he said. "I made a driver error shortly after going out on track and as a result of the damage to the car the team had to do a very quick job in changing my chassis around with that of the T-car.

"My qualifying lap was OK and I am reasonably pleased with how it went. I am looking forward to tomorrow as I know that the R5 has good pace and I will be making the most of any opportunity to move up the grid during the race."
