Germany’s Sebastian Vettel led home Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber to claim an impressive victory in the British Formula One Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday.
Vettel’s second success of the season leaves him 25 points behind world championship leader Jenson Button—who disappointed the home fans by finishing down in sixth place, the position he started from on the grid.

“I had a fantastic car, it was unbelievable. I was able to push, push more,” Vettel said. “It shows we are going the right way.”
Arriving at Silverstone with revamped cars, Red Bull was dominant over all three days.
“It was a completely seamless race by both drivers,” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said. “It was a dream result for everyone.”

“I had a fantastic car and I’m very, very pleased with the result. It shows we are on the right track with the car and also back at the factory.
“I also want to thank Silverstone and all the fans in the grandstand. It’s only my second time here, but all the fans were cheering. This is what I was dreaming of when I watched Formula One in the era of Nigel Mansell and so on.” CNN International
