After his tango with Hamilton I'm amazed that his car was not damaged at all. That is luck.

good win, but shows Vettel cracked under pressure. So much for wet weather skills.
No, he was 21st and last.

Once again people that have a different opinion are haters right? Fair play to you =D>

Ok lets say the tyres were shot:

Vettel had the same tyres and almost the same amount of laps as Button's...Either the RB7 is useless to manage the tires either Vettel cant nurse them.Which one of the two youu think i happened?

Why all the childish fanboi stuff?

It was a fantastic race and JB drove brilliantly and in the end 'deserved' to win..

Nice to see Lewis cheering Jenson's overtake on Vettel.

So the real question is what is going to happen with Button's 2 investigations for causing crashes?

exciting race, for sure. But i cannot get past the fact that the beginning of this race looked like GP2 drivers. Too many collisions, which werent weather related, kinda spoils this for me (Jenson being involved in 2 of them with the other parties being DNF).

Yep but thanks to the safety cars, those incidents played off pretty well for him.
Especially the crash into Hamilton that put him on inters.

He did well to keep his pace, not to take anything away, but the Mclaren definitely was better from Lewis' run easrlier. It was a matter of time.

Makes it really bad for Hamilton, could have won this without the crashes.

The championship isn't really looking good for any of the drivers anyway.
Vettel came out better actually with Alonso, and Hamilton out of the race.
For Sure!!

Once Vettel has someone to fight to he cant do anything and is the worst driver of the grid.

But who had expected Button to win? Hamilton must feel extra bad right now hahaha

Good to see Hamilton clapping his team mate's taking of 1st position from Vettel. Looked reasonably happy too considering he has now dropped to 4th in the table.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

Vettel tyres were 2 or 3 laps older than Buttons. Tyre management has very little to do with it once these Pirelli's drop off. Once they go you're a sitting duck.

Well the Hamilton fans bandy it about so why not apply it where other drivers are concerned. :wink:

There was 3 laps difference in the tyres. Comparing Vettel and Button's tyres is like apples and oranges.
