Formula 1 | Dean | June 23, 2009 at 01:09

Sebastian Vettel has taken the win at the recent British Formula One. The Red Bull Racing team won the event with a 1-2 finish, after Mark Webber crossed the line about 15 seconds slower than the young German driver.

Brawn GP’s, Rubens Barichello came in third place where Jenson Button came in sixth place on his home turf. So far Button has won six of the eight races this season, and this marks Vettel’s third win in his short F1 career.

“Thank you very much guys, this is a dream come true. We’ve won the British GP,” Vettel said over the team radio after taking the chequered flag. “This is what I was dreaming of when I saw my first GP at Silverstone in the era of (Britain’s 1992 World champion Nigel) Mansell.”

Ferrari’s Massa came forth, with Rosberg ending in fifth place.
