It was the 63rd consecutive running of the British Grand Prix as a round of the Formula One World Championship, the longest such run of any event on the Formula One calendar. Fernando Alonso of Ferrari set pole position, ahead of Red Bull's Mark Webber, in a very wet qualifying session, with an extremely long red flag stoppage in Q2. Michael Schumacher also impressed to qualify in third place. Mark Webber won the race, the final win of his career, eventual runner-up Fernando Alonso in the final stint, less than five laps from the end of the race. Webber's Red Bull-Renault teammate, Sebastian Vettel, came third, while Felipe Massa finishing in fourth to secure his best finish in over one and a half years, when he finished on the podium at the 2010 Singapore Grand Prix. As for the British drivers, Lewis Hamilton came eighth and Jenson Button scored a single point. Hamilton had managed to lead the race during the first round of pitstops, but was never in contention for a race win. Paul di Resta suffered an early puncture after Romain Grosjean clipped one of his rear wheels and was forced to retire.
