well, Button was one of the donkeys (the 2nd safety car restart indiscression) but i would also say he was one of the drivers of the race, for a great performance and strategy otherwise.
honourable mentions and other candidates are kubica, petrov and Rosberg-all who drove calmly and solidly nearly all raceCongratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.

Obviously Petrov wasn't the best driver of the race, but he deserves a mention for generally an impressive performance in difficult and changeable conditions. He made a few mistakes, but generally was competitive. The potential he seemed to have based on the first three races has finally been turned into a result. Kubica - another great drive, the deployment of SC may well have cost him a podium.
For Rosberg this was by far his best wet race ever. Finally he has managed to prove himself in such conditions as well. Button v Hamilton - another battle of tactics and speed. The story of Button in 2010 has been quite a fairytale so far - from an underdog and widely-expected #2 to a genuine championship contender and a worthy WDC defender.
Alonso managed another impressive comeback drive, but the jump start (which I haven't seen for ages among front-runners. Last time was when - Fisico in Canada'06?!) lowers his mark.
At the back - I didn't follow live timing, but how did Kovalainen's and Senna's laptimes look like compared to the rest of the field? Somehow Chandhok finished as many as two laps behind Senna. And it was great to see Heikki up in the points early on - great boost for the team.
Finally - I thought de la Rosa was performing well too. : He was around P4, when the engine blew up once again...

Nico for making MS look like a sock again. The Renault twins were fine too.

Good gosh that Renault is easy on tires. Kubica and Petrov on only two stops and the latter has enough in the last laps to run down Schumacher (MS was 12-13 seconds up the road after Vitaly passes Alguesuari) and stalks Webber, who was 5-6 ahead of Schumacher, into a mistake.
Renault were the team that overachieved, and their drivers were very cool-headed in changeable conditions. Of course, Button deserves all the credit for keeping it together and looking after his equipment. Lewis was a tiger all-race long but destroyed his tires--still, he gets a nod as well. I so want Nico to get his first win and he continues to impress.

I wouldn't describe Jenson's drive as a salvage job - Massa's was a salvage job as he got into the points with a poor drive

Hamilton, Petrov
you can't argue with results.
Those of "questionable knowledge" will be the scientists. You might think that rocket science is hard but: Rocket Scientist: Someone who understands Newton's Laws of motion and basic chemistry....
