British driver Jenson Button made the most of his exceptionally quick and efficient MP4-26 and the changeable conditions to score an outstanding victory on his 200th Grand Prix start on Sunday in Hungary.
Championship leader Sebastian Vettel could only manage second for Red Bull Racing but he’s still leading the standings.
The issue of the race was decided when it started to rain slightly. Button’s teammate Lewis Hamilton spun on lap 47. Button and Hamilton then battled until Hamilton stopped for intermediates on lap 52.
Button refused a similar invitation, and it proved the right call because the rain had stopped. He stayed out on slicks and cruised to victory.
