Starting from his fourth pole position of this fairy-tale season and the seventh of his career, Button pulled clear at the start and, apart from brief interruptions due to pit-stops, led all the way with a supreme performance of mature and well-judged racing.
His win lifted him to 51 points in the drivers’ standings after six of the 17 races in this year’s championship, giving him a 16-point lead over Barrichello and increasing the Brawn team’s advantage at the top of the constructors’ standings to more than 40 points.
