Jenson Button appear extraordinary great Hungarian F1 Grand Prix is ​​held tight and disturbed rain on Sunday (07/31/2011). McLaren racer has won the race after taking 70 laps with a total travel time of 1 hour 46 minutes 42.337 seconds.

This is a special gift to make appearance-200th. And now he gets an additional 25 points to 134, but can not boost its position that it was ranked fifth.

While Hamilton had to settle for finishing in fourth position. In fact, he briefly led the race long enough. Unfortunately, the penalty drive through penalty makes him have to finish in fourth position.

The second position was taken by Sebastian Vettel. German rider is doing a lot of mistakes due to the slippery track conditions. He got off the track or cornering too wide.

Slippery path that also makes Fernando Alonso had to work hard to tame the car that often a small spin. In fact he went off the track, but thanks to the sniper team's strategy, he can be on the podium third. In addition, presumably before the race that McLaren's favorite champion come true.


Frantic first 15 laps

The rain which fell ahead of the start of the rider using intermediate tires. Splashing water from the tires is very distracting and outlook at start. The two McLaren drivers had a mild bump out of the first corner because scrambling to enter the second corner.

Increasingly heavy rain which made the pace vehicle accompanied by dancing rhythm machine and make a driver panic. Alonso, who started fifth slipped behind two Mercedes cars, but not until the third lap he can melibasnya. However, on lap four, when he was ranked fourth behind Vettel, Hamilton and Button off the track so it can pass Rosberg.

On lap 3, Hamilton tried to overtake Vettel, but failed. Attempts were made again on the next lap, but still to no avail. New on lap 5 he managed to take over the leadership due to cornering Vettel too wide.

Two Ferrari looks appear stickler for wanting to atone for mistakes made due to track conditions. Alonso can overtake Rosberg on lap 9. While team-mate Massa twist on the previous lap, his car was lucky not damaged when the rear hit the wall. The masses may continue the race.

Dry track conditions began to make hard work of taming wild rider car. And Hamilton is still leading followed by Vettel, Button, Alonso, Rosberg and Webber.

On lap 11 Webber's first pitstop and do use the dry tire compound superlunak, who simultaneously followed by Massa who was also wearing dry tires. As a result, both in the corner looking for dry track so it can not drain the maximum engine power. One lap later, Hamilton and Vettel's turn both into the pit which makes their position down to the second and third behind Schumacher.

However, in a moment that Mercedes driver had dilibas by Hamilton and Vettel. Aggressiveness shown Button on lap 14 Vettel who can poke, making the McLaren driver dominated the position 1-2. In fact, the distance between Hamilton and Button closed to within nine seconds more until lap 20 and 10 seconds and 17 seconds at the same Vettel Webber.

On lap 25, Renault car driven by Nick Heidfeld finished burning when incoming trajectory change tires. Yellow flag was hoisted, in this condition Webber and Alonso entered the pits changing tires. Hamilton also entered the pits on lap 26, followed by Button on lap 28 and lap 29 Vettel.

Formation was not changed by Hamilton in front followed by Button, Vettel, Webber and Alonso. However, on lap 31, rain began to fall and probably the top five positions could change again, especially Alonso, who try to suppress Webber began to lap 32 and lap 34 could almost pass through.

On lap 37 the Ferrari took the initiative more quickly put Alonso into the pits to change tires superlunak compound. The result, when Webber replace the tires and into the track behind Alonso. Likewise, while Vettel pit lap 42, Alonso was taken third position, while McLaren remained 1-2.

Unfortunately, Alonso third position did not last long. RB7 performance driven Vettel can win back all three positions on lap 45. Apparently, when changing tire wear old stock Alonso, while Vettel totally new.

Hamilton penalized

The track is slippery in certain parts back to Hamilton off the track on lap 46. This opportunity is not wasted Button to take over the leading position. However, on lap 49, Hamilton to regain its leading position due Button off the track. And, one lap later Hamilton entered the pits to change tires intermediate.

Strategies that too brave to do a Ferrari on Alonso. On lap 48 the Spaniard came in the third pit and replace the hard compound tires. Perhaps, their calculations, the remaining 20 laps the track would dry and Alonso does not need to replace the tires again. Incidentally when entering the fifth position trajectory.

The result, Alonso managed to bulldoze Hamilton and ranks third behind Button and Vettel. However, on lap 60 he was twisted. Luckily, Webber is far behind that its position remained third. While Hamilton must undergo a drive through penalty for cutting the track at the chicane.
