SAKHIR, Bahrain (AP) — Brawn GP’s Jenson Button won the Bahrain Grand Prix on Sunday, giving the Briton his third win in the four Formula One races this year.
Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel was second, 7.1 seconds behind Button, and Toyota’s Jarno Trulli, the polesitter, took third at the Sakhir circuit.
The result gives Button a 12-point lead in the drivers’ championship, with a two-week break before the series heads to Europe.
