Webber bemoans European showing

Red Bull Racing’s Mark Webber felt he got the result his performance warranted after finishing out of the points in yesterday’s European Grand Prix in Valencia.

The Australian was the form driver in the field heading into yesterday’s race at the Spanish port city, his return of 24 points from the last three rounds seeing him emerge as the closest rival to championship leader Jenson Button. But Webber’s good run came to an abrupt halt in the oppressive Spanish heat as his Red Bull failed to get to grips with the demanding, 25-turn waterfront street circuit.
