JENSON Button continued his dominance of this season's Formula One world championship with his fourth win in five races after a superb pit-stop strategy switch at the Spanish Grand Prix.
This was the ninth successive year that a driver has won from pole position at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya, but it was no conventional procession from start to finish for Button.
After being passed by Brawn GP team-mate Rubens Barrichello on the run down to the first corner, Button and his team made the call to run from three stops to two early on.
It proved decisive as the 29-year-old did enough when Barrichello made his three trips into the pits to again take the chequered flag at the end of the 66 laps.
Yet despite standing on the top step of the podium for the fourth time this year, Button's lead is only 14 points over Barrichello, who duly claimed second ahead of Red Bull's Mark Webber.
