Webber welcomes first points of 2007

The Red Bull driver enjoyed a race-long battle with Toyota's Jarno Trulli, with the Italian finishing right ahead of the Australian.

Webber admitted he was hoping for more but celebrated his best result of 2007.

"The race for me was pretty much a scrap with Jarno T from start to finish," said Webber. "I would have liked slightly better car balance in the middle stint, but it's good to get two points in the bag.

"Of course, you always want more - more downforce, more reliability, more speed - but hopefully those things will continue to come and we can look forward to more points finishes like this in the future."

David Coulthard's day finished early after the Scot was hit by Ralf Schumacher at the first corner, his car being damaged beyond repair.

"That was a disappointing race, I only got to Turn one," he said. "I kept a steady line off the start into the first corner, making sure I left space on the inside to keep out of trouble.

"Watching the replay, it seems Ralf (Schumacher) came together with another car behind me. That rotated Ralf's car and he speared into the side of mine, which caused a lot of damage. It burst the oil cooler, so that was the end of my race."
