Fernando Alonso gave Ferrari their first win in 11 races as a pit-stop blunder from Red Bull cost Sebastian Vettel another victory.

The British Grand Prix triumph was perfect timing for Ferrari as they marked the anniversary of their maiden success in Formula One, coming 60 years ago at Silverstone.

By way of celebration Alonso drove the car that carried Jose Froilan Gonzalez to victory that day, and three hours later he was savouring the fruits of his own success at the end of a stunning race. At the death, on an enthralling last lap, Vettel just held off team-mate Mark Webber and now commands an 80-point cushion at the top of the standings over the Australian.

Behind them, Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa went wheel-to-wheel in the closing corners, even colliding with one another at one stage, only for the Briton to claim fourth by inches from the Brazilian.
