Webber happy to score point

The Australian just managed to keep a late charge from Sauber's Felipe Massa at bay to score for the third time this season, having fought with the Renault of Fernando Alonso for much of the race.

"It's fantastic to have scored a point here today for the team," said Webber. "It's their home race and they have done an amazing job in providing me with a fast reliable car. The R5 has been good all weekend to be honest and after France this is exactly what we were working towards, another two cars across the grid and a point to boot. We know Silverstone very well and we opted for a two-stop strategy and this seems to have been the right decision today."

"I made a good start off the grid and I enjoyed a great battle with the Renault of Fernando Alonso and also the Sauber of Felipe Massa. Both were on my tail for most of the race and it was good to keep them at bay and get the last available point.

"I am now off testing next week in Jerez ahead of the German Grand Prix when again we will be looking to keep up this momentum of being reliable with a good race pace."
