Agree, but Massa's move for the photo finish was awesome too! Good result for Seb regardless - he managed to stay out of the cr@p. Poor MS... so close!

What a race! Poor Schumi, was sooo close, he is a demon in the wet! Great race by Button, also feel for Vettel, but he always takes it to easy when his in the lead. Red-bull is starting to defending to early. They should really race like their in second place

That was completely worth waiting for! What a thrilling race! Well done Button, a thoroughly deserved win! I do feel sad for Schumi though, he was so close to a podium finish...
Do Canadians have bad balance or something, that's the second marshal to faceplant this weekend

Correct on the 1st, happy that Alonso didn't finnish.
Maybe button will be penalised for the Alonso incident and Schumi will be promoted.
Awesome race, was worth the helluva long wait.

No penalty for Button
The stewards at the Canadian Grand Prix have decided not to take any action over the collision between race winner Jenson Button and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso on lap 38.
Button, who holds on to his first win of the season as a result, attempted to pass Alonso into turn four but the pair collided as they ran out of room on the apex. The collision put the Ferrari out of the race and punctured Button's front-left tyre, dropping him to last before he fought back through the field.
"The Stewards have reviewed video evidence and heard from the drivers and team representatives regarding the incident on Lap 38 at Turn 3 between Car 5 (F. Alonso) and Car 4 (J. Button.)," read the stewards' statement.
"Car 5 was on an out lap having pitted. Car 4 appeared to be firmly established on the inside line prior to the entry of the corner and drove onto the kerb to avoid Car 5 on the outside. In view of the conditions and the statements by both drivers and their team representatives, the Stewards decide that this was a "racing incident" and have taken no further action."
Button was also involved in an earlier collision that put his team-mate Lewis Hamilton out of the race. Heading on to the pit straight Hamilton got a better exit from the final chicane and attempted to pass between the leading McLaren and the pit wall. However, Button closed the gap and the pair collided, causing damage to Hamilton's left-rear wheel.
After reviewing the data from the accident the stewards gave a three-point explanation of why the collision was neither drivers' fault:
"1) Exiting Turn 13 there was a legitimate overtaking opportunity for Lewis Hamilton as his speed was greater than Jensen Button's.
"2) Both drivers took lines substantially similar to many of the other drivers, and did not move as far to the left as the preceding driver, Michael Schumacher. At the moment after Hamilton moved to the left to pass, Button looked into his mirror. It appears from the position of Hamilton at that moment [and is confirmed by the drivers] that Button was unlikely to have seen Hamilton.
"3) At the point of contact Button had not yet moved as far to the left of the track as he had on the previous lap, or that Schumacher had on that lap. The Stewards have concluded that it was reasonable for Hamilton to believe that Button would have seen him and that he could have made the passing manoeuvre. Further, the Stewards have concluded that it is reasonable to believe that Button was not aware of Hamilton's position to his left. Therefore, the Stewards decide that this was a "racing incident" and have taken no further action."

Yea glad button never got an penalties because hamilton should have known he would not see him coming and alonso should have realized the position was gone and yielded.
I am not sure what is wrong with the ham, he seems very angry and is always involved in some sort of dodgy over take. Not sure what happened to the ham but he is not the same driver anymore.

Hamilton is exactly the same he's always been - aggressive. Had Button given him 5cm more room, it would have been lauded as a brilliant, brave move. **** happens.
Monaco was an off weekend for him, but everyone's allowed one of those every now and again, not so? Up until yesterday the oke was still 2nd in the championship after all, in a car that was woefully off the Red Bulls' pace in pre- and early season. Just let him do what he does; he'll make for exciting racing one way or another.
All that being said, what an utterly masterful display by Jenson yesterday! It might have taken 4 hours, but that was a champion's drive if ever I've seen one. Six times in the pits, and he ran stone-dead last at one point, and he wins?! Incredible.
