Webber Positive Despite Early Problems

Australian Mark Webber was positive after Friday's practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix, despite failing to set a time in the morning session.

"Apart from a minor issue this morning with my heat shields, I have had a really good day," said the Jaguar driver, who completed just four laps in first practice. "The car is feeling very well balanced around here and I am enjoying driving the car.

"I spent most of today working on tyres, and I am really pleased with the amount of laps that I completed and amount of data that was have gathered. Michelin have done a good job in preparing for this race and we are pleased with how the tyres are working with the R5. I am already looking forward to tomorrow."

Webber had a productive second hour and posted the 10th quickest time after 33 laps, outpacing his teammate Christian Klien, 20th today after spinning off in the first session.

"I don't know this track so well but I am doing my best to get up to speed as quickly as possible," said Klien. "In my first session I made a minor mistake going into corner nine and ended up in the gravel, not ideal, but there was no damage to the car.

"My second session was pretty good although I did lock heavily at one stage and this cost me some time. I am generally pleased though with my two sessions as I completed my programme and the car is feeling good, the balance in particular is working well for me.

"I am now focusing on tomorrow as I need to spend some more time on track ahead of qualifying."
