Australia's Mark Webber won the British Grand Prix on Sunday, hunting down and passing Ferrari's Fernando Alonso with four laps remaining after the Spaniard had led for most of the race.

Webber, who takes his second win of the season after victory in Monaco, made the most of his superior track grip on harder tires to bravely take Alonso around the outside before nipping back across to defend the lead.

"Thanks guys. A great day for me," Webber said on the car radio.

Webber's teammate and reigning champion Sebastian Vettel came third.

It was a disappointing home race for McLaren duo Lewis Hamilton and Jensen Button, who finished eighth and 10th respectively.
