Qualifying should be good, says Webber

Mark Webber was adamant that his Red Bull team did it all could to move as far up the order as possible as free practice commenced in Brazil on Friday. Having topped the first session with team-mate Sebastian Vettel third, the Milton Keynes cars ended the day fourth and seventh, with Webber leading the charge.

With a slim chance remaining for a Constructors' title, Red Bull is required to score 1-2 results in both Brazil and Abu Dhabi with both Brawn GP cars out of the points on the two occasions.

"We couldn't have got much more out of today," Australian Webber commented. "The guys did a good job getting the optimum time on track; we were dodging showers here and there but we timed everything as well as we could.

"It's one of the more encouraging Friday's that we've had for a long time, so it was good - I hope it carries on tomorrow; we've seen that things can change day-to-day with this championship, so I'm looking forward to qualifying - it should be good for us."
