Webber content with Spain finish after "struggling"

Red Bull driver Mark Webber has admitted that he is content with his finish at the Spanish Grand Prix after "struggling" to cope with the Ferrari and Lotus teams.

The Australian started the day in seventh on the grid before recovering from a poor start to finish fifth in Barcelona.

However, Webber feels that he achieved the best result possible given the condition of his opponents.

"We were struggling for the range and a bit of pace today, to be honest," Webber told BBC Sport.

"The Ferraris and the Lotus were in a bit of a different league and that made it hard for us to compete today.

"I think we got the most out of what we had, particularly as by the first corner I was probably 14th or 15th, so to come back with that result was pretty good."

Webber sits sixth in the drivers' rankings.
