Button leads McLaren one-two in Chinese GP

World champion takes second win of season in a wet and chaotic race

SHANGHAI: Reigning world champion Jenson Button held off teammate Lewis Hamilton to win a traditionally wet Chinese Grand Prix for McLaren on Sunday and see him replace Ferrari's Felipe Massa atop the driver standings.

"It is my best victory," said Button, who started from fifth on the grid, one ahead of Hamilton. Button benefited from prudent tire changes as patchy rain played havoc with all the drivers and gave them different conditions to deal with on each lap.
