Webber speeds into seventh position

16/05/2008 10:00:00 AM

RED Bull's Mark Webber

moved into seventh position

in the driver's championship

after picking up

two more points in the

Turkish grand prix last

weekend.

After qualifying in sixth

place, the Queanbeyan

driver was passed early on

by Renault's Fernando

Alonso but enjoyed an

otherwise trouble-free race

to finish in seventh place.

Despite another strong

showing, Webber was disappointed

with losing a

position to Alonso who is

now just one point behind

the Australian in the driver's

championship.

''I couldn't stay with Fernando

today, I was

expecting to do better and

I'm disappointed really,''

Webber said.

''It's good to get points

but it's disappointing we

couldn't take the fight to

Fernando a little bit more,

we weren't quite quick

enough.

''To be honest, it was a

boring race for me.''

Team Red Bull is now fifth

in the Constructor's Championship

with Webber's

experienced team-mate

David Coulthard still yet to

register a point this season.

Coulthard finished just

out of the points in ninth

place on Sunday, under four

seconds behind Nico Rosberg

of Williams.

The next grand prix will

be held in Monaco at Monte

Carlo on Sunday, May 25.
