Britain news wrap-up

AUTOSPORT brings you a Monday morning summary of the biggest headlines from throughout the Formula 1 weekend

The British Grand Prix did take place last weekend, and Sebastian Vettel won it in commanding style, but it would have been easy to overlook this as the row between the FIA and FOTA escalated beyond comprehension at Silverstone.

The bombshell news that FOTA had committed to launching a breakaway series in 2010, and the variously conciliatory and aggressive responses from both sides, inevitably dominated the entire weekend, which ended with matters far from resolved either way.
