2009 German Grand Prix Race day at the Nurburgring

Australia celebrates its first Formula 1 win since Alan Jones drove his Williams to victory in the 1981 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Congratulations to Mark Webber.

Today's race was shaped when three drivers wouldn't go into one at the first corner. This eliminated Hamilton from proceedings almost immediately, while Barrichello took the lead from Webber.

Webber would later be given a drive-through penalty for his part in the fun at the start, but the fact is that he drove his heart out and won the race by almost ten seconds plus a drive-through. It was a sensational drive and one that will send Red Bull and the Formula 1 fans in Australia into party mode tonight.

Looking wider, the drivers' and constructors' championship table tighten still further, and now Brawn have a real fight on their hands if they want to maintain their lead.

This was the 2009 German Grand Prix weekend on AUTOSPORT Live. Thanks for joining us throughout the weekend, and we'll do it all over again for the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest in two weeks' time.

Today's brilliant result for Red Bull tightens up the race in both championships. The Red Bull duo have moved ahead of Barrichello in the race to catch Button and have closed to within 20 points of the constructors' lead.

Webber overcomes penalty for first win

The champagne sprays on the podium after an interesting German Grand Prix.

Felipe Massa accepts the prize for a strong third-place finish in the Ferrari.

Sebastian Vettel is awarded his prize for second place. It's a great day for the team and they have seriously reeled in the points deficit to Brawn in the constructors' standings. Vettel smiles as he raises his trophy aloft.

Jonathan Wheatley, team manager, takes the constructors' prize for Red Bull as the team record another one-two, heating up the championship battle considerably.

Mark Webber takes the trophy for his maiden win. The Australian is absolutely ecstatic to break through after so long in the sport.

The Austrian national anthem plays out to record Red Bull's dominant performance in today's 60-lap race.

A joyous Mark Webber steps out onto the podium as the winner of the German Grand Prix as 'Advance Australia Fair' rings out over the Nurburgring, on an amazing day for Australian sport.

Two drivers retired from the German Grand Prix:

Sebastien Bourdais and Kimi Raikkonen both parked their cars in their respective garages after suffering technical problems.

Mark Webber steps out of his car in parc ferme and is clearly delighted with his first win.

Glock wound up ninth, ahead of Heidfeld. Giancarlo Fisichella passed Kazuki Nakajima on the last lap to nick 11th.

Piquet was 13th, Kubica 14th, Sutil 15th and unlucky not to score, Buemi 16th, Trulli 17th and Hamilton 18th.

Jenson Button hangs on to fifth with Brawn team-mate Rubens Barrichello sixth and Alonso was right there but couldn't find a way round the Brawns in seventh. Heikki Kovalainen claimed the final point in eighth.

Felipe Massa takes a strong third for Ferrari after a great drive this afternoon and Nico Rosberg again finishes well in fourth.

Sebastian Vettel makes it a fantastic Red Bull one-two and crosses the line and it's party-time for the party team in the pitlane!

Mark Webber takes his first career win!

What a drive from the Australian, who bounced back from a drive-through penalty with a perfectly executed strategy and a great display of speed.

Webber finally triumphs after 132 races in Formula 1.

Lap 60: It is status quo between Button, Barrichello and Alonso with no changes yet as they get into the final lap.

Lap 60: Mark Webber has just half-a-lap to go to claim what would be a wonderful victory.

Lap 60: Heikki Kovalainen responds with 1m35.728s - his quickest lap of the race. That should see him safe against Glock to claim the final point of the afternoon.

Lap 59: Heikki Kovalainen runs wide in sector two allowing Glock a sniff up the inside as they dive down to the NGK Chicane. Again, Glock cannot get alongside the McLaren and the train of five continues in the same order.

Lap 59: Button continues to hold on in fifth, despite the heavy graining on his super soft rear tyres.

Lap 58: Mark Webber continues to lead strongly and is well on course for a maiden victory, with three laps to go in Germany.

Lap 58: The five cars battling for eighth are now altogether. Kovalainen maintains track position over Glock, Heidfeld, Nakajima and Fisichella.

Lap 57: The super soft rear tyres look in bad shape on Button's car and he is struggling for pace at the moment.

Lap 57: Alonso is now right on the tail of Barrichello, who has caught Button after a slow lap for the championship leader.

Lap 56: Glock now starts to attack Kovalainen for that point, but can't get alongside the McLaren, and will struggle to do so as Heikki uses the KERS each lap.

Fisichella is catching the group and is now just 1.1 seconds behind Nakajima.

Lap 55: The battle isn't over outside the podium finishers as Button is catching Rosberg and Alonso is homing in on Barrichello.

Lap 54: So Kovalainen now holds the final point in his hands, but that could yet change again. Timo Glock is right behind him and Heidfeld is there, and Nakajima makes it a four-car group with his fresh tyres.

Fisichella is 12th and can;t quite latch on to the back of the group.

Lap 54: The order is Webber leading comfortably from Vettel and Massa.

Nico Rosberg has secured an excellent fourth. Brawn's three-stop strategy has put Button down to fifth and Barrichello sixth.

Fernando Alonso is seventh and closing on the Brawn pair.

Lap 53: Button has done it - that single quick lap more than Rubens has put Jenson ahead of his team-mate.

Lap 53: Button is out on soft tyres and it is going to be very tight ...

Lap 53: Jenson Button is on for his best lap of the race as he tries to jump Barrichello ... he heads for the pitlane.

Lap 53: Kazuki pits the FW31 and Kovalainen takes over the final point, with Glock ninth, Heidfeld tenth, Nakajima rejoining in 11th and Fisichella now 12th.

Lap 52: It is a short stop for Rubens and he resumes in a current sixth, behind Massa and Rosberg.

Lap 52: Rubens Barrichello is the first of the Brawns to pit, releasing Jenson Button to try and leapfrog his team-mate.

Lap 52: The Williams team is anticipating a stop and this will be for Nakajima, who, having moved up into eighth, will soon relinquish that spot to Kovalainen.

Lap 51: Fernando Alonso again sets the fastest lap of the race as the Spaniard revels in the grip from a set of the harder tyres at this late stage.

Lap 51: After a good start and a positive first stint to the race, Heikki Kovalainen has simply fell away. He's ninth at the moment, but over 13 seconds behind Kazuki Nakajima.

Lap 51: Mark Webber continues to lead from the Brawns of Barrichello and Button, who need to make late, short final stops.

Sebastian Vettel is fourth but will move up when the Brawns stop again. Massa is fifth, ahead of Rosberg and a flying Alonso - the latter pair having recently completed their stops.
