Starting from 14th on the grid, the wet weather conditions and safety car appearance allowed Button to carve his way through the field and up to second place behind Fernando Alonso's Renault. It took a supreme drive and a slice of good fortune to do so. A relieved Jenson Button secured a long overdue first Formula One victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
