Fantastic race! I'm so angry that TF1 didn't broadcast the second part of the race so have to switch to BBC. But what a race! Superb drive from Button, absolutely stunning! But he was helped by the DRS in the penultimate lap but what a drive! Webber and Schumacher also were fantastic, Schumacher coming from nowhere when passing Massa and Kobayashi. Massa and Koba had an epic battle from start to finish of race 2!

I don't know what happened with Hamilton but he's making a lot of mistake now, contact with Webber and Button, he needs to stay cool in the next races...

And HRT I believe will win the class B championship now with that result!

What would make this already perfect race more perfect is to rightfully hand Button a 25 seconds penalty for his incident with Alonso, thus putting Schumacher on the podium. :)

Both Schumacher and Button starred. It'd be amazing to see Schumi on the podium, but 4th was still great

Awesome race craft from Schumi. My driver of the Day was Michael Schumacher.

I think is a racing incident. Really I don't think Button want to crash, or was driving dangerously. This are races, people drive faster and take risk, some time you crash and you are out of race, others times are anothers out by your decission. I think FIA had a lot of mistakes this weekend, but not this.

I think SC was a lot of time on track, Race start must be without SC, and after Red flag, SC, must only do 2-3 laps no more. When SC go pit, track was faster and full wet tyres was not the right choice. Stupid for my opinion.

Oh noes :(

And yes, Button is not a malicious driver. Alonso had just come out of the pits and i think that's what swung the stewards towards Button's favour
