Race - Webber beats Alonso to Silverstone win



For so many laps on Sunday at Silverstone it seemed that Fernando Alonso was set to repeat his historic 2011 British victory for Ferrari, until Red Bull's Mark Webber was able to turn the tables dramatically with just five laps remaining. They started from the front row, Alonso on pole, and on his medium-compound Pirelli tyres the Spaniard raced away, leaving Webber, like many of their rivals shod with the soft rubber, to chase him from a distance. Alonso maintained his advantage after their first tyre stops, when they both changed to mediums, so it was the final stint that became critical.
