Another chance for Button to clinch. He can take the championship this weekend by finishing 3rd or better, regardless of where Barrichello and Vettel ends up.

Wow, what a race. Kimi's gasoline shower from Kovalinen was amazing to watch (glad noone was hurt). Clearly the fault of the lollipop man, as he lifted before the fuel crew was done. Also Nakajima had a bad shunt due to his co-patriot moving into his line.

Hats off to Button, and Rubins tried all the way. Way to go Brawn, double champions in their 1st year!

Very exciting race. Great effort from Button, Barrichello, and Vettel in the race. I lost track the number of cars Button passed. Brawn and Button are worthy champions.

Thumbsdown on Webber and Kobayashi for causing accidents due to weaving. I'm really starting to dislike Webber with his driving tactics, way too much dangerous blocking.

great race, I was really hoping Rubino was going to take it start to finish, that poor sob while having a great racing career doesn't seem to be able to catch a break. Seems like he's destined to be the bridesmaid. It will sure be interesting to see how Brawn react at the next GP as now all the pressure is off.

With the championship out of the way. It’s going to be a full assault from the BRAWN team. Next year as well.

Yes, Ferrari is the team to watch next season, having given up on the 2009 cars and spent most of the 2009 season developing the 2010 cars, just like Brawn last year.
