After Webber took the lead at the 1st corner right after the start, he was challenged by Hamilton and it was clear that neither one would give up. But unfortunately for McLaren, Hamilton had hit the back of Sebastian Vettel's car who suffered a leak tire after that. When both came out of the pits, they fell off to the back of the British Formula 1 Grand Prix race. Shortly after that, Fernando Alonso had a collision with Felipe Massa. Webber took advantage of the chaos behind him and had built up his lead. Vettel and Hamilton had made their way up to the front after their collision as well as Robert Kubica after his slow start. As Vettel had to make a pit stop, Kubica ran in 3rd place ahead of Rosberg and Alonso. When Kubica suffered a retirement, Rosberg took over his 3rd place and kept it till the end of the British Grand Prix race despite of the pressure from Jenson Button who ultimately finished 4th. There was another safety-car period after the one for Hamilton and Vettel, when Pedro de la Rosa had collided with Adrian Sutil. Alonso had to wait after the safety-car period because he had got a drive-through penalty earlier at Silverstone Circuit. Mark Webber dominated the British F1 Grand Prix at Circuit Silverstone and gave Red Bull another victory. Hamilton finished as second in the end. Nico Rosberg completed the podium of Silverstone F1.

Historic info Silverstone
The British Formula 1 Grand Prix is currently held at the Silverstone Circuit. The first ever British F1 Grand Prix was won by the French team of Louis Wagner and Robert Sénéchal driving a Delage 155B. Silverstone has hosted the race regularly since the start of the F1 championship in 1950 and every year since 1987. During the 2003 British Grand Prix, Neil Horan, an Irish ex-priest, ran onto the track at the Hangar Straight, waving religious banners. He was immediately tackled by race officials and removed from the premises. In 2004 the Silverstone F1 was left off the preliminary race schedule for 2005 because the BRDC refused to pay the race fee demanded by Bernie Ecclestone. However, after months of negotiation between the BRDC, Ecclestone and the Formula One constructors, an deal was made for the Grand Prix to be held at Silverstone until 2009.
