2006 Hungarian GP: Facts & Stats
Sean Kelly analyses the results and the stats from the Hungarian Grand Prix, and he offers perspective on the performance of the drivers and teams
Penalties for the two championship protagonists, omnipresent rain and a succession of collisions led to one of the most unusual, as well as one of the longest, races in recent memory, and the first ever wet Hungarian Grand Prix.
Starting from the top, Jenson Button finally broke into the win column at his 113th attempt. It makes him only the third driver to record a maiden victory after a century of starts, following on from Jarno Trulli (117, Monaco 2004), Giancarlo Fisichella (110, Brazil 2003) and Rubens Barrichello (124, Germany 2000).
