2012 British GP race results: Webber denies Alonso victory!

Mark Webber took a sensational victory at the 2012 British Grand Prix after a late charge due to a good strategy enabled the Australian to overtake Alonso for the win. The Red Bull driver is now just 13 points behind championship leader Alonso who’s on 129 points.

Sebastian Vettel never looked like a genuine threat for the lead, the German had a quite race to 3rd, with Felipe Massa overtaking Schumacher half-way into the race to secure 4th place.

Despite breaking his front wing after an early collision with Paul Di Resta’s Force India, Romain Grosjean managed to climb back up to 6th, right behind his Lotus teammate Kimi Raikkonen.

Michael Schumacher struggled with his tyres throughout the race, he ended up in 7th after overtaking Lewis Hamilton on the last laps of the race.

Bruno Senna came on top of last-lap battle with Nico Hulkenberg to cross the line in 9th position, followed by Jenson Button, who took advantage of a mistake from Hulkenberg to secure the last points spot.
