It was a great day for Webber's Red Bull team as teammate Sebastian Vettel won to make it a superb one-two for the constructor. Vettel and Webber have broken Jenson Button's and Brawn's stranglehold on the Formula One world championship with a commanding victory in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Having won six of the seven races held so far this year, the Brawn GP driver, who also has links to Aylesbury Vale, was desperate to continue his run of form on home ground.

However, having qualified sixth on the grid, Button ultimately held station during the race.

Vettel's Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber finished second, with Button's team-mate, Rubens Barrichello, claiming the final podium position.

Ferrari's Felipe Massa finished fourth ahead of Williams driver Nico Rosberg, while Toyota's Jarno Trulli and Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen completed the point-scoring positions behind Button.

Button still holds a 23-point lead over Barrichello in the drivers' championship, but with Vettel now closing to within two points of the Brazilian following his second victory of the season on Sunday, the 21-year-old's performance raises the possibility of a sustained challenge to Brawn GP from Red Bull during the second half of the season.

Vettel was in a class of his own all weekend at the Northamptonshire circuit and took the chequered flag some 15 seconds ahead of Webber.

He had been 23 seconds - roughly the equivalent of one pit stop - ahead prior to his first visit to the pitlane, with Webber only briefly enjoying the lead before his own second stop.

Up front, Webber took second place from Barrichello after making his first stop on lap 20, while Massa proved the big gainer in the opening stint after climbing to fifth from 11th on the grid.
