Jules Cluzel capped off a good weekend at the AirAsia British Grand Prix at Silverstone with his first ever win at the GP level. Cluzel led the Forward Racing team to victory ahead of Thomas Luthi and Julian Simon.
Cluzel, who has crashed out during the last two races, was able to maintain to control during a hectic final lap at Silverstone. Luthi was slightly ahead during the final lap, but a crash by Claudi Corti forced Luthi to hit the brakes, opening the door for Cluzel to squeak by. Cluzel takes his first GP victory by just .057 seconds.
Simon took the last spot on the podium, his second podium finish of the season. Home track rider Scott Redding had his best finish of the season with fourth place.
