Mark Webber sealed his third Grand Prix win in Spain on Sunday (May 9th), outpacing the rest of the pack from start to finish at the Circuit de Catalunya.
After taking a fantastic pole in Saturday’s qualifying, the Australian never looked back, proving unbeatable in his Red Bull, leaving teammate Sebastian Vettel to settle for third.
Fernando Alonso gave the Spanish crowds something to cheer with second place, after Lewis Hamilton crashed out two laps from home when his left front tyre deflated.
Webber said he was “absolutely rapped” to add Spain to his triumphs in Germany and Brazil last year.
“The team have been incredible this week, getting the cars ready, long, long nights for the guys, an incredible amount of effort at the factory,” he added.
“It was a fantastic result and I am absolutely thrilled.”
The result leaves Britain’s Jenson Button still leading the driver’s championship by three points as the teams head to Monaco for next week’s Grand Prix, widely seen as the pinnacle of the Formula One season.
