Just watched this and leapt out of my seat at the last lap!  terrific race and he started from 21st  about 30 minutes before.  Brilliant driving.

Just saw it on the News, looks like it was a mental race from start to finish.

There's already a Formula One 2011 thread though... http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=42249.msg1760850#new

sorry was so excited that I didn't look through the threads long enough.  It was an amazing feat.  He went from 21st to 12th in about 4 minutes.  Then up to 8th in about the same time, but they had safety cars on and then the last jump from 8th to 2nd was stunning.  He got to within 0.9 seconds of Vettel, who lost it due to Button's pressure on a bend and Button steamed through on the last lap.  It was unbelieveable to watch.

please merge if possible

It felt longer than Le Mans but great race in the end.
