Jenson Button finally won his first Formula One race at the 113th attempt with victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix on this day in 2006.

He became the first British winner since David Coulthard three years previously.

In a chaotic race Button emerged unscathed after 70 mesmerising, manic laps which saw world championship rivals Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso both retire.

Button said: "It is great to get that first win after so long. It's a great feeling for myself and the team.

"It is so good I don't have to do those interviews any more – now I can say I have a win I will feel a lot better."
