REUTERS - Formula One leader Jenson Button ran away with the Turkish Grand Prix on Sunday for his sixth victory in seven races.
 
Australian Mark Webber was runner-up for Red Bull, taking the chequered flag 6.7 seconds behind the Briton's Brawn to equal his best ever finish, with his 21-year-old German team mate Sebastian Vettel third after starting on pole position.

Button stretched his championship lead over Brazilian team mate Rubens Barrichello, who failed to finish after a stalled
start left him fighting way down the field, to 26 points with 10 races remaining.
 
The Briton has 61 points, Barrichello 35 and Vettel 29.
