Webber Surprised after 'Amazing' Sixth Place

Jaguar driver Mark Webber was delighted after scoring his best result of the season at today's German Grand Prix.

Australian Webber was an impressive sixth for Ford-owned squad, coming home 41 seconds behind race winner Michael Schumacher. Webber's previous best result this season was a seventh place at the European Grand Prix in May.

The Australian admitted the result had even surprised himself.

"That was a pretty amazing finish that I was not quite expecting," said Webber. "I started from 11th and managed a good start and entry into corner one. The first lap was the start of my move up the grid, as by the end of it I was up to sixth. I continued to battle it out with the best of them and the car was feeling really good.

"I had some good battles with the guys out there and to finish sixth is great for the team. The boys have had quite a difficult weekend working on the car and producing the ideal set-up. The track has been changing quite a lot but we appeared to have come out the other side pretty well.

"I will be trying to relax a little over the next three weeks so come Hungary I will be chasing for some more points."

Webber has scored all of Jaguar's points so far this year, and today's result allowed the Milton Keynes team to move ahead of Jordan in the Constructors' Championship.
