He was getting great drive tbh, tyres were fine. DRS robbed them.

Button lucked into the win. Remains to be seen what happens after his tango with Hamilton.
Vettel faultless until a slight mistake. Hardly a choke as some of the "haters" claim.
Schumacher undoubtedly the drive of the race. Pity the Merc is dog.
Massa and Koby were good with Massa just getting the better of Koby.
Webber played a steady game and snuck up on everyone.
Hamilton was another disaster.

Andrew u do understand that the fault came under pressure...What fault u expect while he was leading?Just wondering...

Wasn't just luck for Button though. He was 3 - 4 seconds faster than most of the field, and came through from dead last to take the win. Without Vettel's mistake he probably would have been okay, but Button was still the faster driver at that point in time.

Tyres weren't shot. He could have won if he settled down.

His tyres weren't shot at all. He just didn't have the pace in those conditions. He was slower by quite some margin before the safety car, and once BUtton was free from traffic and it was a fair fight he was taking multiple seconds a lap out of him until he upped his pace at the end.

Then he did a terrible terrible tire management job since his were newer than buttons and he had simply been coasting at the front while button had to fight for it and make overtakes.
