Button’s chances of making it a McLaren one-two were damaged by a KERS problem that affected him right from the start.
Hamilton said: “To have Jenson on the podium alongside me was great – great for me, great for him, great for the team, and a great boost as we move towards the end of the season. The team has been fantastic all weekend – the strategy, the pitstops, everything – really top-class. The whole package came together today and I owe everyone a big thank-you. This is so uplifting – for the team and for me. To be able to walk away with a smile feels just fantastic: victory is good for the soul.”
Lewis Hamilton drove an utterly faultless race today, taking the lead at the second corner and controlling the gap back to Fernando with consummate skill over the remaining 54 laps. It was Lewis’s 17th career grand prix victory, all of them scored for Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and TAG Heuer on his wrist, his third of the season, and the sixth time this year McLaren Racing Team had occasion to pull on their famous Vodafone rocket-red victory T-shirts.
