Hamilton picks up 1st F1 win of 2009 at Hungary

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) - McLaren's Lewis Hamilton has won the Hungarian Grand Prix for the defending Formula One champion's first victory of the season.

Hamilton snapped a streak of 11 races without a top-three finish.

Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen was second Sunday and Red Bull's Mark Webber finished third to move second in the overall title race after teammate Sebastian Vettel retired with an engine problem.

Pole sitter Fernando Alonso of Renault retired early after one of his front tires came off.

Overall leader Jenson Button finished seventh and now leads Webber by 18.5 points.

The race was overshadowed by the missing Felipe Massa of Ferrari, who remained sedated in a hospital with multiple skull fractures after a crash during qualifying.
