Webber wants to leave Jaguar on a high

Mark Webber has declared he wants to reward his embattled Jaguar team with more points before the season ends.

Jaguar have just two more grands prix left before they cease to exist, with the team up for sale and parent company Ford refusing to bankroll another campaign of Formula One.

Webber has been one of the few highlights of Jaguar’s short and troubled grand prix career and he wants to leave on a high in Japan and Brazil before joining Williams next season.

The Australian said: “The guys at the factory in Milton Keynes and the team up at Cosworth Racing in Northampton have all pulled together over these last couple of weeks and I would like to reward them with points before the season ends.

“I will be racing this weekend in our new chassis, which was actually first raced last weekend by Christian Klien.

“Looking ahead to Suzuka, it’s a tough track on both the driver and the car but this sort of circuit will allow us to really test ourselves. With only two races to go I am very keen to score some more points for the team.”
