    Red Bull's Mark Webber secured a comfortable wire-to-wire victory at the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday, while Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Webber's teammate Sebastian Vettel filled out the podium after Lewis Hamilton crashed with one lap remaining.

    Webber made it 10 straight winners from pole position at the Circuit de Catalunya after the Australian drove a flawless race for a 24-second victory over Alonso.

    "It was a crucial pole," said Webber, who celebrated his third career victory by throwing his helmet into the stands. "I controlled the race."

    Hamilton was second for most of the race before his tire blew out to send the McLaren driver into the wall shortly before the finish. Vettel took advantage to finish third for Red Bull despite running into the gravel after one of his brake pads blew out.
