Webber: Podium aim

European GP podium finisher Mark Webber believes Red Bull can chase down fifth place in this year's Constructors' Championship.

In mixed weather conditions, the Aussie driver claimed only his first podium finish of the season at last weekend's European Grand Prix while his team-mate David Coulthard finished in fifth place.

The two drivers' results earned ten points for the team at the Nurburgring, the same amount scored by World Championship leaders McLaren.

It also boosted Red Bull up the log in the Constructors' Championship and the team is now in sixth place, two points behind Williams and seven ahead of Toyota.

Focus

However, rather than looking to hold Toyota at bay, Red Bull are targeting Williams' fifth place in the standings.

"To get ten points for the team at one event was extraordinary because they are very hard to come by these days," Webber told the official F1 website.

"It's great that the team now has an absolutely clear focus to beat Toyota and Williams to fifth in the Constructors' Championship.

"We need to be around again on days like the one we had at the Nurburgring. Other examples could be Spa and Fuji, where the race could be affected by exceptional weather circumstances."

The Aussie is now looking ahead to this weekend's Hungarian GP, where he hopes to once again finish in the points.

"I'd be absolutely wrapped if we can score more points in Budapest as that's our goal, along with beating those teams I've previously mentioned in the Constructors' Championship," he added.
