Pirelli's motorsport director Paul Hembery was impressed by Jenson Button's driving yesterday. "It's been another fascinating race in mixed conditions which has allowed Jenson Button to demonstrate his skills of mastering changing weather and the capabilities of our P Zero tyres, which demonstrated both performance and durability throughout the grand prix. Even when rain was falling at the end of the race, Button managed to secure enough grip from the P Zero Yellow soft tyres to make sure of a well-deserved victory."

The race saw a huge number of pit stops and strategies: "There was a very wide variety of strategies employed by all the teams throughout the race, with the top five using four different strategies, but in the end it all came down to each driver's ability to get the best out of slick tyres in slippery conditions. The McLaren drivers were very closely matched: Lewis Hamilton also drove a brilliant race and seeing his recovery at the end, despite six visits to the pits, was fantastic. I'm particularly pleased because the Hungaroring is a place that has not always been renowned for overtaking in the past, but yesterday we saw plenty of it, in a race that contained more twists and turns than the circuit itself!"
