SILVERSTONE, United Kingdom: Fernando Alonso delivered Ferrari's long-awaited first win of 2011 on Sunday when he made the most of unpredictable wet-dry conditions to triumph at a thrilling British Grand Prix.
The 29-year-old Spaniard, winner of the British race for Renault in 2006, secured Ferrari's first win since last year's Korean Grand Prix with a controlled drive - and some luck - to exploit the controversial revised technical regulations.
It was Alonso's 27th career victory, drawing him alongside three-times champion Briton Jackie Stewart in the record books.
And it came on an afternoon of high drama that saw defending champion and runaway leader Sebastian Vettel's race undone by a slow pit-stop.
Vettel finished second ahead of his Red Bull teammate and pole setter Mark Webber, with McLaren's home favourite Lewis Hamilton in fourth after a superb rousing race.
Red Bull used team orders to stop Australian Webber passing Vettel on the final lap.
