Fourth consecutive points finish for Webber

Mark Webber is enjoying one of his best seasons in Formula 1. The Australian is managing to get the maximum out of Red Bull's RB04 and finished Sunday's race in the points again. With his seventh position he earned himself another two points. Team mate Coulthard finished just outside the points in ninth.

Webber was obviously pleased to continue scoring points. He said about his race: "I'm happy to get two points. It wasn't the most exciting race; I was just trying to hold on to Fernando (Alonso), which wasn't easy as he was a bit too strong for us today. It would have been nice to be able to fight him a little bit more. I was cruising a little in the last stint, as (Nico) Rosberg wasn't a threat. Getting more points is good for the team, especially after the way they turned my car round after my shunt on Friday, but we're not satisfied with getting just points now - we want to get more. But, I have the same number of points that I had in total last year, so we're doing okay."

David Coulthard hoped to finish in the points too but unfortunately for the Scotsman he just missed out on a points finish. Speaking about his race Coulthard said: "I just missed out on points today, which is frustrating, but I've looked around my car and there's no damage, so at least we finished a race without colliding with anyone! I raced as hard as I could. I dropped half a second just before my second pit stop and came out just behind Nico (Rosberg), which was probably the deciding factor. I think the strategy guys did a good job today, I just wasn't able to eek the last little bit of pace out of the car. I had a little bit of understeer and difficult drivability getting the throttle open, which cost a tenth of a second per lap."
