Well folks the race is over and JB has opened another exclusive page for himself in the history of F1.
Even though he was rammed by Alonso at the start he managed to out smart every 1 on the track and even his own team by early pitting for slick tires and remaining on the track with 1 stop strategy and rightfully collecting the Crown.
I was irritated by Hamilton fuming on his team for a decision which was in part his own. If he wanted to race with 1 stop strategy then he shouldn't have to chase Kubica and Alonso so hard and chew up the tires.
Alonso aggressive attempt on passing JB on the start up caused damage to both cars and took out Schummy's car as well. Poor Schummy was the only had to repair the car and start again dead last.
Regardless of Alonso bad decision on start up I nominate the man as the Star of the race, after that incident he had to start again from 22nd position and fly his way through out the race and finish 4th. Not to expect any thing less from a 2 time WDC.
Kubica is finally showing some color, 2nd on the podium for
Poor Vettel second pole position start and get involved with reliability issues with exploding front brake rotors and a flat tire. A DNF for Red Bull will hurt a lot at the end of the season.
Massa finishing 3rd in front of Alonso might give hint that there is no "team order" in Ferrari, already 20 points ahead Macs on WCC.
Here is provisional result:
1 1 Jenson Button McLaren-Mercedes
2 11 Robert Kubica Renault
3 7 Felipe Massa Ferrari
4 8 Fernando Alonso Ferrari
5 4 Nico Rosberg Mercedes GP
6 2 Lewis Hamilton McLaren-Mercedes

10 3 Michael Schumacher Mercedes GP
11 17 Jaime Alguersuari STR-Ferrari
12 22 Pedro de la Rosa BMW Sauber-Ferrari
13 19 Heikki Kovalainen Lotus-Cosworth
14 20 Karun Chandhok HRT-Cosworth
