An incident-packed race saw the safety car used five times and included a two-hour stoppage for heavy rain. Button himself made five pit stops on his way to victory as well as an enforced visit to the pits for a drive-through penalty for speeding under the safety car.
An emotional Button described the win as possibly the best of his career. BBC Sport
Vettel, who led for the majority of the race through all the chaos, said: “Of course I’m disappointed.
‘I was probably too conservative at the last safety car and I did not open up enough of a gap.
‘Then when it came down to the fight at the end the mistake was down to me, I locked up the rear. When there is only one line I ended up in the wet.
‘It is still a good day as many mistakes were made and cars did not finish, yet we’ve picked up good points.’ Daily Mail
