McLaren’s Jenson Button won the Belgian Grand Prix

                 This Sunday McLaren’s Jenson Button claimed the Belgian Grand Prix title from pole position. This was a big victory to him and to the team McLaren too. He eventually had a untroubled evening and at the end he managed to win the race quite comfortably.

                 Button ended the race with 13.6 seconds clear of Red Bull’s double world champion Sebastian Vettel, who won this same grand prix from pole position in the last year. Finland’s Kimi Raikkonen came third in the race for Lotus, and Force India’s Nico Hulkenberg came fourth, which was the best result of his team for the ongoing season. Hulkenberg was ahead of Ferrari’s Felipe Massa and Mark Webber.

                 This year’s favorite Fernando Alonso had a tough day, he had hoped for a record equalizing 24^th successive points finish but his hope was shattered in a cloud of carbon-fiber after a few metres. Eventually the Spaniard Alonso might consider himself quite lucky as he could have been hit by the flying Lotus of Romain Grosjean, whose car took off after colliding with Hamilton.

                  Michael Schumacher, the seven times world champion, snatched the seventh place for his team Mercedes after running as high as second at the circuit where he eventually started his glorious F1 career in the year of 1991 and also took his first win in 1992. This Belgian Grand Prix was his 300^th Grand Prix.
