Webber predicts ?very tight? battle

Mark Webber is predicting a tight battle for victory in the season opening Australian Grand Prix, with teams still unsure about how well their preparations are going in winter testing. While many view Red Bull Racing and McLaren as favourites for victory in Melbourne, Webber insisted on Thursday that his team was feeling good about its progress - but was taking nothing for granted. "We are all anxious to get to Melbourne eventually and see where all of our work is, but I think the team have done a phenomenal job in terms of preparation and working as hard as we can ? and we just have to see if that is going to be enough," he said, after ending the first day of the Barcelona test fourth fastest.
