Webber: Surprised

Mark Webber spoke of his surprise after he secured Red Bull's first front row start by finishing in second in qualifying for the British Grand Prix.

The Australian finished behind Heikki Kovalainen to gain his first front row start since qualifying second with Williams at the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix.

Webber joked afterwards that he had enough fuel on board for only three laps and had bet on Kovalainen to win.

"It's a bit of a surprise," he said.

Pretty strong

"We've been pretty strong most of the weekend but we didn't realise how strong I suppose until we got into Q2 (the second qualifying session).

"It's a bit of a home grand prix for all the Red Bull Racing guys, it's a proud moment for them but only five percent of the job is done.

"It could be wet tomorrow but we have done our job today. I can't wait for tomorrow."
