The 32-year-old screamed with joy, and perhaps relief, in taking the chequered flag at the Nurburgring after the German Grand Prix.

"The guys have produced a special car. Brawn are leading because they deserve to be, but we are not giving up," Webber said.

"Sebastian (Vettel) and I are on top of our game and pushing as best we can to be as consistent as possible at all venues.

"We love fighting against teams like Ferrari and McLaren, and this is what Formula One is all about.

"For Red Bull to take the fight to these big guys is a real credit to us. They will be back for sure, but it is a special time for our team."

Not even a drive-through penalty for playing dodgems with Rubens Barrichello off the line denied Webber his long-overdue moment in the sun at the 130th attempt.

It secured him a place in the sport's record books as no driver with a win to their name has taken so long to get a maiden triumph under their belts.

Leading home a third Red Bull one-two of the season, with Sebastian Vettel second on this occasion, the duo are 22.5 and 21 points respectively behind Jenson Button who could only finish fifth.

Red Bull also slashed Brawn GP's lead in the constructors' title race to 19.5, with the balance of power having shifted the way of the Milton Keynes-based team in the last two grands prix.
