Hamilton jumped the gun then. Be nice to see JB win in his 200th race.

Hopefully Hamilton won't be too disappointed, Button always had this race won
He was the first place of the drivers on the yellow tyres

From that moment, barring mechanical or error, it was over. Button had it won

Agreed, he gambled really. Whoever made the decision to stay on the super soft is the one that lost it, be the team or Hamilton himself.

Either way, entertaining race again.

In reality

Hamilton has only missed out on one place

Button and Vettel on yellow tyres would have taken him, and then he would have been ahead of Alonso, so all it's done is swap him and Alonso

It's amazing how much the McLaren's and Ferrari's have closed to the Red Bulls, as this is such a Red Bull track

They were over a second quicker at this track last year, and almost two seconds than the McLarens

It's just all about having entertaining races from now on, Vettel even in a bad race will only finish as low as 6th. It would take a bottle job of epic proportions for him to lose it from here.

Just a shame the cars were not this close from Round 1.

Make it rain all year around and Button will be the World Champion. Very good drive from him today!
