Webber Looking to Competitive Qualifying

Australian Mark Webber is hoping for a competitive qualifying session after posting the 12th fastest time in today's practice for the European Grand Prix.

"The car is well balanced around here and it feels pretty good," said the Jaguar driver. "The guys have done a good job turning everything around in time since last weekend so I will be looking to reward them with a competitive qualifying position tomorrow.

"The weather plays a huge role here at this track so anything could happen tomorrow, I am looking forward to it."

Webber was the quickest of the Jaguar trio on track today, outpacing test driver Bjorn Wirdheim and Austrian teammate Christian Klien, who spun off the track during the second session. His car, however, was recovered and the rookie could return to the track to set the 19th fastest time.

"I had a productive session first thing when I was working on a few performance tests but this afternoon I was braking hard when the rear of the car went and I could do little to stop it going off-track," explained Klien. "I was fortunate that I was near a good run-off area and the car was fine.

"The mechanics checked it over and I was back out for the end of the second session. I am excited about tomorrow and qualifying as we have a good car and it would be good to see it as high up the grid as possible."
