The formula one leaderboard is a welcome sight for Sebastien Vettel whose second place finish in Hungary meant he extends his lead at the top of the table over rivalling drivers Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber.
McLaren driver Jenson Button picked up maximum points from Hungary with a surprising victory which sees him edge closer to Fernando Alonso who lies in 4th place. Meanwhile, Vettel's lead is now an astonishing 85 points, and it would seem the German driver has one hand on the elusive drivers' championship trophy. Red Bull-Renault will be hoping Mark Webber can fend off a late challenge from Lewis Hamilton to ensure the final leaderboard reads that Red Bull drivers finish one and two with McLaren in third.
