So, to recap: Jenson overtook the entire grid (how much cars were there when he was in the last place, 20?), maybe with his last pit he overtook 4-5 cars (on the optimistic side), so that leaves him with 15 cars overtaken *on the track* for an about 20-25 laps, am I right?
This was simply mind blowing, considering that his tires were basically in the same configuration as the ones in the top 6 cars.
The "sad" thing is that somehow, the pattern is obvious that Jenson wins like this in similar conditions (see last year's wins). Not that he doesn't have the outright speed from the front (Monaco 2011)...
Anyway, brilliant driving ... and win.

We all know Button is exceptional in these conditions, just remember his first win in Hungary.

Brilliant handling of Lewis and Alonso. This amazing win took not only brains and brawn, but also the toughness of the number 4 Mclaren and an early birthday present from Vettel in the end.

What a great performance by Jenson...wish Saint Devote still was here :

This was his best career win, IMO.
