Belgium 2012 - Race results - Button takes a strong lights to flag victory, as first lap carnage takes out Alonso

Published by Christine

The racing in Belgium is known to be chaotic, but that's usually down to the weather. Today the sun shone over Spa, but the action still managed to deliver. A first lap incident caused by Romain Grosjean took out four cars in the first corner - leaving Button unchallenged at the front as he led the way to the chequered flag. Great racing occurred behind, but it was Vettel and Räikkönen that joined him on the podium.
