Germany’s Sebastian Vettel led home Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber to claim an impressive victory in the British Formula One Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday.
Vettel’s second success of the season leaves him 25 points behind world championship leader Jenson Button—who disappointed the home fans by finishing down in sixth place, the position he started from on the grid.
Button’s Brawn GP team-mate Rubens Barrichello finished behind the dominant Red Bulls in third place, to close to within 23 points of Button in the world drivers’ standings, with Vettel breathing down the Brazilian’s neck… Details
FIA president Max Mosley said on Sunday that a deal is close to prevent eight Formula One teams from forming a rival series and that legal action would be halted to encourage a resolution.
Motor sport’s governing body had said that legal proceedings would begin without delay after the Formula One Teams Association decided to split on Friday when talks broke down to resolve a dispute over a voluntary budget cap for next year.

It will be the ultimate reliability run to test the mettle of me and my machine.

Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel will start Sunday’s British Grand Prix from pole position after a commanding performance in qualifying at Silverstone. Vettel beat Brawn’s Rubens Barrichello by over three-tenths of a second.

Home hero Jenson Button could only manage sixth after struggling with a lack of grip, while 2008 Silverstone winner Lewis Hamilton was sidelined in Q1 and will start on the back row of the grid…Â Details
