Fernando Alonso secured his first win of the season and the 27th of his career at the British Grand Prix thanks in part to a botched pit stop which allowed him past early leader Sebastian Vettel.
Vettel extended his lead in the world championship by holding off a determined late charge from Mark Webber to take second, while Lewis Hamilton saw his chances disappear as he was forced to conserve fuel in the final stages. In an epic finish, he crossed the line inches ahead of Felipe Massa with the two cars coming together as they raced into the final corner.
Jenson Button's hopes ended when his McLaren crew failed to attach a wheel nut at a pit stop and he was forced to retire. Nico Rosberg came home sixth after coming out on top of a long battle with Sergio Perez, and Nick Heidfeld, Michael Schumacher and Jaime Alguersuari rounded out the top ten.
