Good finish, great drive from MSC. If only he had a better car. Massa and Koba side by side. Brain fart from Vettel shows he is human after all, he's the best but it will be good to close the gap a little, can't believe Button 6 stops and P1.

what a race , anybody who says F1 is boring is mad
Well worth waiting for that finish. Outstanding.
Button win with 6 stops.....
Fuuu I'm supposed to be revising for the exam tomorrow morning, but feck me watching this was worth it! What a drive by Button.
That's one of the best drives I've seen.
Once again he made the right call on tires.

21st on the restart, wonder what the odds were
Normally it seems quite dull, but fecking hell that was definitely great viewing!
He was incredible on those soft tyres at the end there. Classic F1 finish.
Laid him top 6 finish. What a wankstain.
Webber didn't deserve that podium, the difference in ability between him and Schumi was immense there.
Unbelievable action! Well done Button....so much pressure and it paid off! Chuffed for him!!!
Hard not to like Button.
Fantastic drive.
Fantastic drive.
Because I'm not all up on this, as they are investigating the Button/Hamilton incident now, can they put Vettel as the winner if they for some reason find Button at fault?
F1 isn't boring but the race for the title certainly is.
They also have Alonso/Button under investigation too. Frankly if he gets punished for either F1 can feck itself.
that's a fair point
Considering he's in such a superior car he under achieves nearly as much as Massa. Imagine Schumacher in the Red Bull and vice versa - how close would Webber get to him?
I agree, just wondering if it can happen. If they rule Button at fault for anything will they strip him of the win or punish him next race?
Did Button just do Sebs finger point?Oh and Michael finally putting in a drive worthy of his talent.
Got to admire Vettle, Jenson, Schumi and Webber for that finish....real on the edge driving....100% committed!
Exactly, neither were blatantly his fault.
Button finally shows some bollocks.......goes toe to toe with the likes of Vettel, Hamilton and Alonso....and wins the race....great drive.

Probably a grid drop. F1 just witnessed one of its best ever finishes, they would have to be nuts to mess that up with harsh penalites for two racing incidents.
shame for schumacher, so close to a podium.
put like that I cant really argue with you
Lets not forget Button is still under investigation for incident with Alonso and Lewis.
Wow, that was well worth the wait! Well done, Jenson.
Webber doesn't deserve to be in that Red Bull right now. Put someone good in it and you might even have a half competitive Championship battle.
They would be crazy to penalize him on this race after one of the best drives seen this season. They were racing incidents and I cant see Button being at fault for the Lewis incident as he was the lead car and didn't weave back and forth on track (Lewis has gotten away with that). maybe a grid penalty for the next race.
they can't seriously punished button for both incident, it was hamilton and alonso both at fault there, it be really unfair.....
Feel for Michael though. Bossed the wet conditions like the MS of old. Were it not for DRS he'd have been 2nd. His defensive driving was brilliant.
So what do you reckon? 25 second penalty for Button? Takes him down to 5th if they hand it out

Is it coz he's black?
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh: What a race. Coming through six times from 21st is incredible. He is driving fantastically and we know he deserves it and hope everyone else does too. He just attacked and attacked and delivered a fantastic race." On the Button v Alonson incident: "I think Jenson was on the inside there and Fernando shut on him. I may be a bit partisan on that but I hope and believe that the stewards will make the same opinion. We'll wait and see."
First race I've been able to properly watch all year, not a bad one eh?
Schumi was incredible, feel sorry for him, Lewis needs to stop being such a petulant and reckless twat as he is a phenomenal driver.

Agreed.
Not sure about the DRS thing. Loads seem to loathe it, but it certainly made that end much more interesting.
