<p>Jenson Button ran away with the Turkish Grand Prix on Sunday to stretch his overall Formula One lead to 26 points with a sparkling sixth victory from seven races. <br /><br />Australian Mark Webber finished runner-up for Red Bull, taking the chequered flag 6.7 seconds behind the Briton to equal his best ever finish, with 21-year-old German team-mate Sebastian Vettel third after starting on pole position. <br /><br />Button stretched his championship lead over Brazilian team-mate Rubens Barrichello, who failed to finish after a starting glitch left him fighting way down the field, to 26 points with 10 races remaining. <br /><br />The Briton has 61 points, Barrichello 35 and Vettel 29. <br />"You have built me a monster of a car, you guys are absolute legends," Button yelled over the team radio, his voice wavering with the emotion, after the white and lime car crossed the finish line. <br /><br />Button's seventh career win, and fourth in a row, made him the first driver to win in Turkey without starting on pole position since the race made its debut at the Istanbul Park circuit in 2005. <br /><br />It also ended Ferrari's Felipe Massa's run of three wins in a row at the track. <br />Vettel, who made three stops to Webber's two but failed to make the strategy work for him, made a mistake when he hit the kerb into turn nine and went wide at turn 10 on the opening lap, allowing Button to slip past quickly. <br /><br />In what is shaping up to be the most dominant season by a driver since the championship started in 1950, 29-year-old Button also became the first Briton to win four successive races in a single year since Nigel Mansell in 1992. <br /><br />Only five other British drivers, all of them champions, have won six times in a season and that tally does not include current champion Lewis Hamilton. <br /><br />The 24-year-old McLaren driver, wrestling with an uncompetitive car, finished 13th -- 80.4 seconds behind Button. <br /><br />Force India disappoints<br /><br />Force India’s Adrain Sutil finished a lowly 17th position while his more experienced teammate Giancarlo Fisichella retired early with mechanical problems.<br />Agencies <br /></p>
