Nico Rosberg captures British Grand Prix

SILVERSTONE, England ? Nico Rosberg won the British Grand Prix on Sunday after four drivers, including early leader Lewis Hamilton, had to deal with exploding tires and three-time champion Sebastian Vettel quit with 10 laps remaining because of mechanical problems.

With Vettel?s Red Bull teammate Mark Webber closing fast, Rosberg managed to win his second race of the year and third of his career by 0.7 seconds in a nail-biting finish ? then had to survive a stewards inquiry.

Ferrari?s Fernando Alonso, who started ninth, made a late charge up the grid and got past Lotus driver Kimi Raikkonen with two laps remaining to claim third. Hamilton also recovered to finish fourth, after his blown tire sent him to the back of the grid in the eighth lap.

Soon after celebrating, Rosberg risked seeing his victory slip away when he was referred to the stewards for not slowing down for yellow flags in turns 3 and 5. The stewards ruled that Rosberg ?did not make a significant reduction in speed? but would only receive a reprimand, or warning. After three reprimands during a season, drivers are given a 10-place grid penalty. This was Rosberg?s first.

?Fantastic, it?s very special,? said Rosberg, who also won in Monaco and in China last year.?

Hamilton seemed poised to win his first British Grand Prix since 2008 after getting a great start and extending his lead over three-time world champion Vettel.

But on the eighth lap, the 2008 champion?s left rear tire exploded and he was forced to limp into the pits. Two laps later, Ferrari?s Felipe Massa lost his left rear tire and spun out. Then, Toro Rosso?s Jean-Eric Vergne also lost his rear tire on the 15th, sending rubber flying across the track.

That brought out the safety car until lap 22 and sparked renewed concerns about the reliability of Pirelli tires. It also prompted drivers to later warn of the dangers of exploding tires.
