British Grand Prix



Mark Webber won today's British Grand Prix in the Red Bull, while Lewis Hamilton finished second in the McLaren, and Nico Rosberg finished third in the Mercedes. Hamilton's teammate Jenson Button finished fourth, Rubens Barrichello finished fifth in the Williams, Kamui Kobayashi finished sixth in the Sauber, Webber's teammate Sebastian Vettel finished sventh, Adrian Sutil in the Force India finished eighth, Rosberg's teammate Michael Schumacher finished ninth, while Barrichello's teammate Nico Hulkenberg rounded out the points by finishing tenth.

The 52-lap race at Silverstone was a pretty dominating one for Webber and did not provide much entertainment so I don't think there's much more to say on that front.

The results leave Hamilton in the lead in the Driver's Championship with 145 points, Button at 133, Webber at 128, Vettel at 121, Fernando Alonso (who finished fourteenth) at 98, Rosberg at 90, Robert Kubica in the Renault at 83, and Alonso's teammate Felipe Massa at 67. The Constructor's Championship has McLaren at 278 points, Red Bull at 249, Ferrari at 165, Mercedes at 126, and Renault at 89.

The next race is the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim in two weeks. On to Germany.
