Webber happy to score again

Mark Webber said he was happy to leave Turkey with two more points after his fourth consecutive point-scoring finish of the season

The Red Bull driver scored his third seventh place finish in four races after a race-long battle with Renault driver Fernando Alonso.

Webber admitted the Spaniard was too strong this time out, but the Australian was happy after equalling the amount of points scored in all of last season.

"I'm happy to get two points," said Webber. "It wasn't the most exciting race; I was just trying to hold on to Fernando (Alonso), which wasn't easy as he was a bit too strong for us today.

"It would have been nice to be able to fight him a little bit more. I was cruising a little in the last stint, as (Nico) Rosberg wasn't a threat.

"Getting more points is good for the team, especially after the way they turned my car round after my shunt on Friday, but we're not satisfied with getting just points now - we want to get more.

"But, I have the same number of points that I had in total last year, so we're doing okay."

Teammate David Coulthard had to settle for ninth place, just outside the points.

The Scot said, however, that he was happy to finally finish a race without any incident with other drivers.

"I just missed out on points today, which is frustrating, but I've looked around my car and there's no damage, so at least we finished a race without colliding with anyone," said the Scot.

"I raced as hard as I could. I dropped half a second just before my second pit stop and came out just behind Nico (Rosberg), which was probably the deciding factor.

"I think the strategy guys did a good job today, I just wasn't able to eek the last little bit of pace out of the car. I had a little bit of understeer and difficult drivability getting the throttle open, which cost a tenth of a second per lap."
