Jenson Button wins his 200th race with a brilliant drive on wet/dry Hungaroring. Another sensational drive from the 2009 champion in mixed conditions, with the strategy calls once again putting him on top of the podium. Button eventually led Sebastian Vettel over the line by 3.5s, who in turn had a lead of 16.2s over Fernando Alonso in third. But those gaps don't do justice to how close this race was, with Hamilton, who finished fourth, looking nailed on for victory until the third pit stops when he took on supersoft tyres instead of softs.
Jenson Button:
"For some reason I like these conditions, don't ask me my why, but it worked out again. A great call from the team to put me on the prime tyre when they did, a great call from all of us. All round it has been an amazing weekend. I want to say a big thank you to the team. Everyone has worked so hard to produce the car we have now. I think we are going into the break on a nice high. Every day we are on holiday we'll be thinking about Spa. It turned out a little bit different with the rain coming down, but I had a lot of fun all the same. It's always fun racing with Lewis. It's great to come away with a victory this weekend."
