Hats off as Webber reigns in Spain

MARK WEBBER cruised to his first Formula One win this season, and the third of his career, to underline Red Bull Racing’s dominance at the Spanish Grand Prix.

They could not follow up Saturday’s one-two in qualifying with a similar result in the race at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya as Sebastian Vettel could only manage third after a delay in his first pit stop and late brake failure, but first and third was a good weekend’s work.

In celebration of his lights-to-flag win, Webber removed his helmet – normally so precious to a driver as it is a very personal item – and threw it into the crowd.
