Button, Honda take maiden win at Hungarian GP
TEAMCAR - Jenson Button kept his cool in a wet and wild Hungarian Grand Prix and took his and Honda's maiden Formula One win. Who said Hungary was boring? In a race full of incidents and overtaking Button took the victory from 14th on the grid, while McLaren's Pedro de la Rosa achieved his first podium in second and Nick Heidfeld claimed BMW Sauber's first podium with third.Despite Hungary usually being a sweltering hot event it was raining cats and dogs, to put it politely, all morning at the Hungaroring -- the GP2 and Porsche races saw near enough more cars in the barriers than on track. By F1 time the rain had stopped but there was standing water on the track. Intermediate tyres seemed the best way to go, although some drivers opted for full wets.
There's been too many swings and roundabouts to really make sense of this Hungarian weekend just now. The penalties, the rain, the accidents and incidents -- it's a far cry from what the Hungaroring usually produces. I need to lie down in a cold room for a while. Final top eight classification: Button, de la Rosa, Heidfeld, Barrichello, Coutlhard, R. Schumacher, Kubica, Massa.
Michael Scumacher promote to the 8th place after Kubica disqualified from after the race due to the under weight of his car.
