Button wins again in Monaco

07:26 am on 27 May 2009

The Monaco Grand Prix has been won by Jenson Button, making it five wins out of six races in this season's world motor racing championshp.

The 29-year-old Englishman drove a flawless race to lead home his veteran Brazilian team-mate Rubens Barrichello, giving the Brawn team their third one-two of the year.

It was Button's first win at Monaco, and he leads Barrichello by 16 points in the drivers championship.

Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa maintained the Italian team's improvement following their appalling start to the year by coming home third and fourth, followed by Red Bulls' Australian driver Mark Webber.

The defending world champion Lewis Hamilton came in 12th after starting from last on the grid.
