Fernando Alonso in his Ferrari benefitted from a pit-stop howler by Sebastian Vettel's Red Bull team to take the chequered flag in the British Grand Prix.
The German was looking as comfortable as ever in the lead after jumping his team-mate Mark Webber at the start, but a problem with one of the wheels during the second pit-stop cost him the vital seconds which allowed Alonso to cruise to victory.
Despite not winning, Vettel still extends his championship lead over Webber, with Alonso far behind.
It was a miserable day for the Brits, with Paul di Resta also suffering in the pits, Jenson Button similarly had to retire, and Lewis Hamilton made progress from a low grid position but had to settle for fourth as he struggled with fuel in the final laps.
