Colombian driver Juan-Pablo Montoya won the Formula One British Grand Prix on Sunday.

The McLaren driver, winning his fifth race in 75 starts, beat home series leader Fernando Alonso of Spain in a Renault while Finn Kimi Raikkonen also in a McLaren was third.

He did enough to extend his advantage by two points to 26 after closest rival Raikkonen failed to fight his way right through the field following a ten grid position penalty for changing an engine during practice on Saturday.

World champion Michael Schumacher had to settle for a sixth place finish, just ahead of Ferrari team-mate Rubens Barrichello, while his brother Ralf Schumacher secured the final point for Toyota by finishing eighth.
