Mark Webber finally grabbed his first grand prix win at the 130th attempt by taking the chequered flag in Sunday’s race in Germany.
It secured the Australian a place in Formula One’s record books as no driver with a victory to their name has taken so long to get a maiden triumph under their belts.
But that will matter little to Webber who can now claim himself to be a grand prix winner on yet another day of celebration for Red Bull Racing as team-mate Sebastian Vettel made it a one-two for the team. The Press Association
“It’s an incredible day for me. I wanted to win so badly,” Webber said.
It was the second straight 1-2 for the Austrian team and third overall after nine races.
Felipe Massa gave Ferrari its first podium finish of the season by coming third ahead of Nico Rosberg of Williams.
F1 leader Jenson Button of Brawn GP finished fifth to take his overall total to 68 points, while Vettel moved into second with 47 points and Webber is third with 45.5 points. Barrichello has 44 points after finishing sixth.
