Button kisses his trophy

Button kisses his trophy McLaren\'s Jenson Button celebrated his 200th Formula One start by winning the Hungarian Grand Prix yesterday after a thrilling race decided by tyre choices in the slippery, wet conditions.

Red Bull\'s Sebastian Vettel was second despite an error-strewn race to increase his championship lead over team mate Mark Webber to 85 points and move him closer to defending his title with eight races left after the mid-season break.
Ferrari\'s Fernando Alonso was third.
Briton Button sealed his second victory of the season after being wheel to wheel with Lewis Hamilton only for his team mate to drop back to fourth after a choosing the wrong tyres in the rain and then serving a drive through penalty following a spin.
\"Guys, perfect going into the summer break. let\'s come back and win them all,\" Button, who took his first grand prix victory here in 2006 and also in the rain, told his team over the radio.
\"Congratulations to Jenson, he was pushing me hard the whole race and the better man won today,\" said Hamilton, who led before it all went wrong.
\"Of course we would have loved a one-two, I feel like I let the team down a little bit but we\'ll bounce back at the next race.\" With cars sliding around as drizzle and tyre strategies came and went, the less than capacity crowd at the ageing Hungaroring were treated to a string of overtaking moves at a twisty circuit where passing had been difficult in the past.
Vettel made a good start from pole but Hamilton, winner of the previous race in Germany last Sunday, kept on the world champion\'s tail having been second on the grid.
