Webber turns tables on Vettel to win British Grand Prix

Silverstone: A fired-up Mark Webber won the British Grand Prix for Red Bull on Sunday after a storming start that turned the tables on team mate Sebastian Vettel.

The victory put a smile on the Australian's face after having to give his car's front wing to the German on Saturday in a controversy that left Red Bull facing accusations of favouritism.

Webber, stony-faced on Saturday, let his feelings pour out as he crossed the line, telling the team over the radio: "Fantastic, not bad for a number two driver."

"Well done Mark, you can smile now," replied team boss Christian Horner.
