Got it Share Normal text sizeLarger text sizeVery large text size Advertisement MONTREAL: A truly extraordinary Canadian Grand Prix, lasting almost four hours due to torrential rain and five safety cars, ended in dramatic fashion, with Jenson Button - having pitted six times during the race - coming through on the final lap for victory. The McLaren driver shrugged off a collision with his teammate, Lewis Hamilton, to take his first victory since April last year from Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel, who nevertheless extended his lead in the drivers' championship to 60 points. Vettel's teammate, Mark Webber, held off a resurgent Michael Schumacher to take third. ''What a race. What a race. A fantastic win,'' Button screamed as he crossed the line. Video Player is loading.

Vettel now has 161 points in the overall championship, ahead of Button (101) and Webber (94). It was forecast to be wet and wild but no one realised just how wet and wild it would be. As boats floated down the St Lawrence River in the background - showing the cars how it was done - the island track became a floating fun house. Last-lap winner ... Jenson Button celebrates winning the Canadian Grand Prix.Credit: Getty Images A carnival atmosphere prevailed. The cars, which had been red-flagged after 25 laps of mayhem, were covered in tarpaulins on the grid. FIA's race director Charlie Whiting opted to start the race behind a safety car, which meant everyone had to begin on wets. And while Vettel held off the Ferrari of Fernando Alonso at the front, Hamilton, almost inevitably given his record this season, was at the centre of things. A tangle while attempting to pass Red Bull's Webber on lap five, which spun the Australian and led to both men losing places, prompted an investigation by the stewards although neither man was punished. Webber later said he was ''surprised'' at Hamilton's move given how long there was left in the race. Hamilton then tried, optimistically, to go around the outside of Schumacher's Mercedes at the hairpin but ended up losing sixth place to Button. In a desperate attempt to reclaim that position, Hamilton took advantage of a mistake by his teammate as they exited the final chicane before the start of lap eight. Hamilton moved up the inside, down the pit straight, but Button - apparently unsighted due to the heavy rain and spray - did not see him and moved across on to the racing line, pushing Hamilton into the pit wall and out of the race. McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh defended both drivers and the decision to allow them to race each other. ''Jenson didn't know he was there and Lewis was trying to make good progress,'' he said. ''There's no issue. People may criticise but this is the way we run our team.'' Advertisement The incident with Hamilton and Button led to another safety car period but as the rain started falling harder and harder - building into a veritable monsoon - it became obvious the race would have to be red-flagged. It was over two hours before the cars re-emerged from the pit lane, once again behind the safety car.

Clearly it's Jenson's day. I'm sure it was a good race for the neutrals watching at home but a few grey hairs for us.''
