Webber hails 'fantastic' Red Bull

Brazilian Grand Prix winner Mark Webber felt immensely proud of his Red Bull team after picking up the second Grand Prix victory of his career in Brazil. Although the Milton Keynes outfit has lost out to Brawn GP in both championships this year, the Australian believes that the Austrian outfit should be proud of its achievements.

With Red Bull having enjoyed its best season by far to finish second in the 2009 Constructors' Championship, Webber's victory at Interlagos on Sunday was the fifth for the team this season.

"It's a fantastic day for the team to win again, confirming second in the Constructors' for us," said the Australian, who took his second victory after first crossing the line in front at the Nürburgring in July, "It was not good enough to win the championship but we have done ourselves proud."

Mark also thanked engine suppliers Renault, who may not be with the team next season, before adding some words for the new World Champion: "Jenson (Button) I think deserves the championship, he has driven very well; Brawn had some strengths and weaknesses, but JB did a good job so I want to congratulate him."
