    Brilliant Button

    What a race by Jenson, it was brilliant to watch, and the last lap was fantastic when he scared Vettel off the track.

    Well done Jenson a great win to a great race.

    Awesome.

    Hope Lewis can learn from this - you cannot win a race in the first five laps but you can certainly lose it

    And he's such a splendid looking man.



    Sadly I think he'll get a 25 sec penalty for hitting Alonso.

    Be interesting to see if he is penalized.

    Lewis didn't look as pumped as the rest in the Mclaren garage, when Jenson took the lead.

    I really hope he doesn't get a penalty in the post-race investigations. I don't think he did anything wrong and it would be extremely harsh if this win was robbed from him. If they had to penalise him, it would be much fairer if he could just get a grid penalty or similar at the next event.

    I think its the incident with Alonso being investigated (correct me if i am wrong) so it all depends who they judge as at fault, Button was up the inside on the racing line, but Alonso was a fair way infront.

    Don't think he will be punished today, otherwise a Drive Thru would have been given as it happened early in the race and to change the winner would cause a lot of fuss.

    I think the stewards will take the easier option and a grid penalty next race.

    No penalty. One of the best victories not just for Button but for any driver!

    I just like great drives and today we saw one. Jenson punted everyone out of his way - took all the punishment the FIA could throw at him and then
    kicked everyones ass straight up. This does not happen a lot and when you see it you just have to give the utmost credit to this pilot who just plain and simple
    kicked every ass in sight. Tribute that you got to witness it. I am just loving this performance - It was world class and that is why we love F1

    The point though is that Alonso knew Button was there by virtue of Button clearly getting ahead as they entered the braking zone, if he didn't, he needs to get is retinas checked for early onset of macular degeneration.
    Opinions are like ar5eholes, everyone has one.

    I didn't quite gather the reason Button was so fast. Was it because he was on newer tyres, or was able to preserve his tyres better or was just more capable in the conditions?
