Button before the end of the first lap had taken the lead after a mistake from Vettel as he went wide on turn nine. After taking the lead Button went on to set the fastest lap as he pulled away from his main rival in the race. Early in the race it was Button, Vettel, Webber, Trulli and Rosberg in the top five positions.

Fast forward to ten laps into the race and there was no change at the front. Button was out to over a four second lead from Vettel. Barrichello was now even further back in the field after he lost control of his Brawn GP car. Was Button going to cruise from here and claim another win in a remarkable season so far for the Brit?

After the first pit stops it seemed that Vettel was going for a three stop strategy and would be running on the soft tyres for a short stint, while Button took on more fuel and would need a longer run on the soft tyres. Mark Webber who lead the race for a short period before pitting was unfortunate to come out just behind Robert Kubica after pitting to be in P4.

With Vettel running light for a period while Button had a heavier fuel load the Red Bull driver closed in on Button. He was not however able to get past before going into the pits for his second stop. After this Webber held second but now it was daylight between first and second. Button was close to 20 seconds out in front.

Later in the race Vettel again closed in on Button but did not get much better than seven or so seconds to within Button. After having to have an extra pit stop Vettlel saw his teammate go into second spot. That is how the race ended. Button wins again!!

The story of the day was the error by Vettel on the first lap which allowed Button to take the lead. How it would have been if not for that moment we will never know.

Button has of course now won six of seven grand prix races in his Brawn GP car. After last race I asked has Button already got the championship in the bag. It is even more likely that he is the champion. Of course anything can still happen but it is looking good for the Brit.

In the after race interview Button said his car was the best it has felt all year. Webber was happy to get a equal career best second place. Vettel admitted it was his mistake at turn 9 and 10 on the opening lap. He said the mistake did not make a difference as Button was too quick on the day anyway.
