ALONSO WINS THE BRITISH GRAND PRIX! Ferrari are jubilant as the Spaniard races home to cap a comfortable and mightily impressive victory at Silverstone! Vettel holds on for second ahead of his Red Bull team-mate Webber, while Hamilton pips Massa for fourth on the final corner. What a race!

Webber scraps away furiously for second spot, looking to nip past Vettel desperately but he is unable to do so for now. Massa is on the back of Hamilton, and there is more to come!

Massa takes another three seconds out of Hamilton as he closes rapidly on the McLaren driver, and this is going down to the wire for fourth spot! Alonso is well out in front, and closes on the win...

Hamilton, who continues to be very frustrated in fuel-saving mode, is a full 2.6 seconds slower than Massa behind him now - can he hold on to fourth spot?

Elsewhere on the track, Schumacher, Heidfeld and Alguersuari jostle furiously for eighth, ninth and 10th places as the three drivers battle away once more.

Vettel and Webber occupy second and third places respectively for Red Bull, and they have each recovered well from sluggish phases in this race.

Alonso leads by a staggering 17 seconds, and it is effectively wrapped up for the Spaniard now as he simply consolidates his lead and refuses to take any undue risks.

Webber passes Hamilton into third! That is effectively the end of Hamilton's challenge, and that was all too easy for the Australian. "Do what you can, Lewis" - it's not encouraging.

Hamilton fends off Webber repeatedly, but surely the Australian will pass his rival very shortly... It's desperate stuff from the Brit now...

Hamilton locks up heavily as he loses further ground, while Webber is closing in quickly! Alonso looks very composed and continues to consolidate his position.

Webber takes 1.4 seconds from Hamilton, who is having to compromise on his natural attacking instincts due to his team instructions. Alonso appears to be in complete control now!

1:34.908 - that is the new fastest lap set by Fernando Alonso, who is now romping away at the front of this Grand Prix! Hamilton is told to keep things in check.

Recap: Button is out of the race! Retirements: Button, Buemi, Kobayashi, Trulli, Kovalainen. Such a shame for the Brit, in particular.

Button also pits now - his front right wing was not on the car! He's out of it. Alonso has pitted to cover, and this is utterly enthralling stuff!

Hamiltno comes out about 1.5 seconds behind Vettel, while Button is forced to pit in an attempt to leapfrog in front of Webber, who pits...

Webber has Button within 1.2 seconds as Hamilton pits too - can he get out in front of Vettel? It's very frenetic out there and Alonso can smell victory!

Vettel pits! This time the stop is very slick, and he emerges in just 3.4 seconds. He had clearly damaged his tyres badly, and now Alonso establishes an 11 second lead!

Hamilton holds his ground superbly in feisty fashion as he stays in front of Vettel, and the Red Bull is forced to back off and take stock.

Alonso's lead is now up to 8.3 seconds as the Spaniard pulls away impressively, while way back Schumacher makes a very fine move on the inside of Alguersuari into Stowe.
