Lewis showing his inexperience again. Buttons been driving in F1 for 10 years and knows everything he needs to know by now. He used his head rather than his tyres and that gave him the podium, Vettels reliability gave him the win.
I'm really happy he won. Some great drives all down the field. Kubica for keeping Hamilton behind him, Alonso for his charge from the back (and I HATE Alonso!), Massa for not crashing, Hamilton for this charge.
Hamilton has a lot to learn. He needs to realise that you can't always stop for new tyres when you need them and outright win. He worked hard yes, but too hard. I very much doubt he would have kept the Ferraris behind by the last few laps and if he could, it would have been a lot of work. He toasted the tyres to get that far and aggregated his position by destroying the tyres, then he destroyed the second set before the end too. He was a spoilt brat in his post race interview, and that's why I'm a Button fan. No matter the situation Button is level headed and mature. He might not be a seat of your pants driver all the time but he's racy when he needs to be, that's the winning difference in modern motorsport. He made the right calls, the team made the right calls. He made sure he did just enough but still had some pace in hand if he needed it.
Todays race was excellent, and I'm sure we'll have a different winner in a weeks time again. Some great drivers out there and all very close to each other. Should be fantastic to watch
EDIT: another point. Alonso and Massa. Alonso seemed to give up when he got to Massa. Sure, Alonso was all over the place with knackered tyres too, but Massa was hardly quick or confident in ther car ahead. I doubt it's team orders, but I was surprised to see that. It was like he gave up by that point.
