Webber Hopes to Fight for Points
Australian Mark Webber is targeting his second point-scoring finish in a row after qualifying in 11th place for tomorrow's German Grand Prix.
Australian Mark Webber is targeting his second point-scoring finish in a row after qualifying in 11th place for tomorrow's German Grand Prix.
Webber, who has scored of all of Jaguar's four points this year, had finished in eighth place at the British Grand Prix two weeks ago. The Jaguar driver admitted he could have done better in today's qualifying, but was still optimistic of fighting for points tomorrow.
"When I went out for my second session I did not quite get the right gear going into the first corner, so I was chasing my time for the rest of the session," said Webber. "My overall lap was good but not perfect so my final position of 11th for the grid is OK, but as always further up would have been even better.
"We are now focusing on what we need to do tomorrow during the race to fight for a points-finish. It is more and more difficult to score points as we progress through the season so any points achieved are hard fought."
Webber outqualified his Austrian teammate Christian Klien, who was happy to be close to the Australian after lapping just 0.209 seconds slower.
"My second and final session was again OK, although I made one minor error that swung the back of the car out slightly but I recovered and pushed really hard for the remainder of the lap," Klien said. "My 12th position just behind Mark is good for me and I am pleased that I am keeping up with my teammate.
"I am looking forward to the race here tomorrow as I am sure that it is going to be interesting. There are some overtaking points that I will be looking to make use of so lets see what happens."
