Webber: consistent finishing

Red Bull's Mark Webber is delighted with his consistency so far this season, having put together a string of five successive points-scoring finishes.

The Australian first scored points in Malaysia when he came home in seventh place.

It marked the beginning of a run of success that culminated in his fourth-place finish in Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix.

The five points earned around the streets of Monte Carlo have therefore pushed Webber up to seventh place in the drivers' standings, where he is tied with McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen.

"It's five on the bounce now, 15 points," Webber enthused to SpeedTV. "I've got the same points as Heikki!

"I'm trying not to have any weak tracks, that's what I always try and work at, I try to be consistent and deliver at all of them for the team."

The 31-year-old is now turning his attention to next weekend's Canadian Grand Prix, where he reckons he can extend his points-scoring streak.

Referring to Montreal's reputation for accidents, Webber added: "Absolutely, and it's also an opportunity to be in the fence, so we've got to make sure we're not and try and continue this points run as long as we can."
