Red Bull's Mark Webber won the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, while team-mate Sebastian Vettel had to settle for seventh after making a mistake on the first lap.

McLaren's Lewis Hamilton was Webber's nearest challenger, while the podium was completed by Nico Rosberg in third place in his Mercedes.

Vettel started from pole position, but lost ground to Webber off the line and as he tried to regain the lead, he ran wide off the track and suffered a puncture which forced him into the pits and out of the running for a race win.

Webber went on to enjoy a trouble-free afternoon, while Jenson Button did well to salvage a high finish after starting way back at 14th place on the grid.

Vettel managed to recover to finish in seventh place and salvage six world championship points.

He lies fourth in the drivers' standings, 24 points adrift of leader Hamilton, who has 145 points to his name.

Button is second on 133, while Webber has closed to within five points of Button and 17 of Hamilton.
