Jenson Button has won the Turkish Grand Prix and claimed his sixth victory in seven races this season.

Red Bull's Sebastien Vettel started on pole but was overtaken by Button on the first lap after straying on to the grass.

The Brawn GP driver held on to win by over six seconds from Vettel's team-mate Mark Webber, who took second.

Vettel came in third after opting to pit three-times.

It’s Buttons fourth straight win, and sixth overall for the season. He leads the championship on 61 points – 26 more than his nearest rival and teammate Rubens Barrichello.
