Australian Mark Webber won the Spanish Grand Prix for rampant Red Bull on Sunday after leading from start to finish at Formula One's most predictable circuit. For a record 10th year in succession, the driver who started on pole position took the chequered flag as winner in the Catalan sunshine."Fantastic, you were untouchable," the team told Webber, the first driver to win from pole this year, after he crossed the line a massive 24 seconds clear of Ferrari's second placed Fernando Alonso. "It was a fantastic result and I'm absolutely thrilled," said the Australian of his third career win.Spaniard Alonso inherited a crowd-pleasing runner-up position when McLaren's hard-charging Lewis Hamilton crashed out when a front tyre suddenly deflated on the penultimate lap. "I was just cruising to the finish line... but then I blew a tyre with two laps to go. That's motor-racing," Hamilton told BBC television.Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel finished third despite suffering brake problems. Seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher was fourth, the best result so far of the 41-year-old's comeback season, with McLaren's Jenson Button fifth.Button, Hamilton's team mate and reigning world champion, stayed top of the standings with 70 points to Alonso's 67. Ferrari's Brazilian Felipe Massa was sixth and Germany's Adrian Sutil seventh for Force India.Karun Chandhok's hopes of a third successive finish were dashed after a tangle with Toro Rosso's Jamie Alguersuari. On lap 29, Alguersuari drove across the nose of Chandhok's car and the HRT driver had to pull up after 31 laps. "What Alguersuari did was just uncalled for. The corner goes right and he goes left," Chandhok said.classified results1. Mark Webber (Red Bull), 2. Fernando Alonso (Ferrari), 3. Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull), 4. Michael Schumacher (Mercedes), 5.
