Jenson Button wins in Hungary as Lewis Hamilton falters McLaren's Jenson Button won a thrilling Hungarian Grand Prix that was won and lost on tyre strategy as the race was affected by intermittent wet weather. Button fitted prime tyres at his third stop before the rain fell and he passed team-mate Lewis Hamilton for the lead. Hamilton pitted six times, including a drive-through penalty, but passed Mark Webber's Red Bull to finish fourth. Red Bull's championship leader Sebastian Vettel was second with Ferrari's Fernando Alonso third. Button marked his 200th grand prix by recording his second win of the season at the Hungaroring, where he claimed his very first grand prix victory five years ago. Remarkably, the 31-year-old Englishman is the only man to win an F1 race at the track in wet conditions - the only two races to have been hit by rain since the inaugural race in 1986. "This is the first place where I won a grand prix, in 2006, in these sorts of conditions," said Button. "I'm always lucky with these conditions. You are not always going to make the right call in these conditions but I feel I'm pretty good at making the right call when it comes to tyre choices - but I'm not the only one. "We had good pace today and I was able to make the soft tyres last. "The reason why we won today was because we were quick. If it didn't rain it wouldn't have made any difference."
