Horner enjoys team's first front row

Mark Webber scored Red Bull Racing's first front row in Saturday's qualifying session. Red Bull team boss Christian Horner was obviously extremely pleased with his driver's result and hopes Webber show another great performance in Sunday's race.

Speaking about Webber's qualifying session Horner said: "A fantastic result for the team. Our first front row start, and where better to do it than just up the road from the factory when so many team members are in attendance, It's important that we turn the grid position into a strong result tomorrow, but Mark's been competitive all weekend, so hopefully we can convert it.


"For David, he was compromised this morning by missing P3 and not getting a run in the dry. But, he starts eleventh, which means we can pick his strategy."
