On this day in 2006, Jenson Button finally delivered on his long-promised potential with a stunning maiden win in the chaos of a rain-soaked Hungarian Grand Prix. We relive the twists, crashes, and triumphs that turned Budapest into the scene of a career-defining moment.
We also celebrate the birthday of Vitantonio Liuzzi—a karting prodigy whose Formula 1 story didn’t quite follow the script—and revisit Stirling Moss’s final Grand Prix win at the Nürburgring in 1961, where skill triumphed over horsepower.
