'Unfortunate incident' takes out Webber.

Jaguar number one driver, Mark Webber endured a nightmare race yesterday [Sunday] at the Canadian Grand Prix, when he was caught up in the first corner mayhem, the Aussie eventual clouted by his own team-mate, Christian Klien, after the Austrian was unable to avoid David Coulthard's McLaren-Mercedes.

Webber's rear suspension was damaged as a result, and he was later forced out on lap eight, Jaguar's head of vehicle performance, Dr Mark Gillan, branding the incident 'unfortunate'...

"I was looking forward to this race as I felt that we had a good strategy in place and the R5 was feeling competitive," reflected Mark.

"My start was quick enough and I was fast into the first corner. I could see that there was a lot of traffic in the corner and not a lot of space.

"Unfortunately some things are out of your control and I could see that David Coulthard was going into a spin and Christian and I both had no where to go. As Christian made contact with David the outcome was his R5 landing on my front wing. I could tell that some damage had been done immediately and the team confirmed that the rear suspension had a problem.

"From a safety point of view we retired and of course it's disappointing given the amount of work that I know we have all been doing going into this weekend. We are now looking ahead to our next race and I and the team are looking forward to getting back out on track."
