Mark Webber failed to contain his enjoyment in finally seeing his team-mate, Sebastian Vettel, beaten by another driver, despite that driver being from a rival team.
Lewis Hamilton took victory from Vettel with a clever strategy and some daring overtakes in what will be remembered as a ‘classic’ grand prix.
Webber believes the end to the German’s winning streak is good for the sport.
“Congratulations to Lewis, it’s good that someone finally…” He said before stopping himself during the FIA press conference.
He then tried to cover his gaffe, saying: “Of course Seb’s in the same team, but he’s been at the front all along and we’re all fighting for the championship.
“So a shame that McLaren won in a way, but also we can’t let Seb get too far away, so it was a good day for the racing and a good day for points for our team.”
Mark Webber finished third, despite starting in 18th. Through the use of a three-stop strategy, patience and some clever driving, he made up 15 places during the 56 lap race.
