Jenson Button has won a dramatic Chinese Grand Prix after on-off rain mixed up the order and left the result in doubt until late in the race.
Button was followed across the line by team-mate Lewis Hamilton, after the Briton endured a topsy-turvey race as he battled through the field, often as the fastest man on track. Among the highlights of his charge was a battle with Michael Schumacher.

Nico Rosberg was third, having led much of the race early on. He didn't have the pace of the McLarens, though, but had no trouble keeping Fernando Alonso at bay for third – the Spaniard getting in reach of the podium despite five pitstops, including a drive-through for jumping the start.
