Glad Webber won over Alonso!

Great race with some good overtakes!

Shame for both Lewis & Jenson, but hopefully in the next race in Germany McLaren will have a decent set of upgrades and they will be near the front again!

Woop woop - i won the competition set for the grand prix

I got alonso 2nd & schumi 7th... So i'm happy that webber won overall & that alonso came 2nd

What is wrong with McLaren. Lewis wasn't able to out-do the car this race, it was painfully slow for all to see.

Let's hope the 'visual updates' work for Germany.

Fantastic race, everyone cheered near me when Mark Webber won even if they don't support the Red Bull team.

I bet that was brilliant & Webber does live not far away from Silverstone according to commentary during the race - so he technically can be an adopted brit

In other news ... Mark Webber has signed up with Red Bull for 2013 despite also talking with Ferrari.

So, Red Bull are the first team to confirm their driving line up for the 2013 season!

Yeah and probably due to Mark being a great guy regardless. I would also imagine they didn't want Alonso to win!

True, because nobody likes Alonso ... do they

[Zak]

I like Alonso he's a far better driver than Webber

[Suspective]

Good win for Webber, he's a nice guy but I can't see him winning the championship.

Where I was sitting it absolutely erupted when Alonso was overtaken

I think its a bit of a shame Webber's re-signed as it would have been good to see somebody different put in the Red Bull. But I guess they will be doing that the year after once they see what happens to Vettel and if he goes elsewhere.

Not the best race ever today, but was still some very good moves.

I think Alonso will win the overall championship if he continues as he is doing.

Shame for Hamilton, being the only one to get a puncture - thought he did the right thing making himself un-lapped over Vettel, who did eventually finish 2nd (5th now due to the 20 second penalty - promoting JB to 2nd)
