Button as the winner is ofcourse a candidate. However I see his win as a rare triumph for his relatively slow and cautious approach. The approach will not win a WC but can win races when stuff happens. With his experience and a car as good as the McLaren can be, I don't think its the style of a great. Also he had an incentive in today being his 200th race, he needs special inspiration to produce his best it seems.

Having said that cometh the hour cometh the Button, so he deserved his win.

Lewis is another candidate, I dont really see what he did wrong all weekend really. Alonso spun more times, everyone made mistakes and once again his team were culpable in throwing away a first or second place by the lamentable decision to not go onto the primes, especially when he had proven in Q2 that he was not much slower than Button on options. Hindsight is good yes, but Whitmarsh's McLaren are seriously naive too regularly for a slick F! team with the pedigree.

Di Resta is a candidate for completing a race like that which was impressive enough.

Mentions to Buemi, another brilliant race, he has had a couple this season and is very impressive.
