Spanish Grand Prix: Jenson Button in points again for McLaren-Honda

by SpeedLux

Rookie Max Verstappen may have made history but it was a nice day for McLaren-Honda’s Jenson Button as well at the Spanish Grand Prix.

The Briton did his best finish of an albeit moderate season up until now when he took ninth in Barcelona on Sunday (May 15).

Button had actually opened his account in Sochi with 10th position, four locations behind Fernando Alonso, and combated hard conditions to enhance that.

The Spaniard had created another advancement when he ended up being the very first McLaren driver this season to reach the third round of qualifying, beginning 10th on the grid, but needed to retire after 45 laps following a power failure.

Verstappen came to become the youngest ever winner in F1 history at the age of 18 when he assisted his Red Bull over the line, beating Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen, although much of the attention was concentrated on the collision between Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton which took both Mercedes from the race in the opening lap.

The teams are set for Monte Carlo for the Monaco Grand Prix which take place on May 29.
