Ooh, wet in Brazil...

And I just realised that Glock isn't racing. D'oh.

Rodge

I'll take the default please. I remembered but didn't bother logging on last night.

Gooner

Well that buggered my predictions up then. Should be an interesting race if the heavens open again tomorrow.

Big TC

What a fantastic race - I didn't nod off once!

Congratulations to Jensen. Who else had a tear in their eye as he hugged his dad?

Now watch him in Abu Dhabi - he'll probably win by a clear lap....

Humphrey The Pug

Fantastic race and great drive from Button, he was totally on it, how agressive was he.

Big Blue

Top man. Ace race-craft by Button and superb drive by Vettel. Interesting first lap and Trulli was well pissed off: unusual to hear Jarno almost gnashing his teeth a mm less so Sutil must have been a twat!

DaveGibson

A quick check shows that Sav top scored and now has a lead of nine points over Mrs S. Looks like it might be three in a row.

Looks like we have a winner here too.

Dr. Hfuhruhurr

Looks like - but in theory, anyone between Sav and Humphrey can win it.

I'm running a day or two behind having spent the weekend in Edinburgh desperately trying to avoid any news from Interlagos. This was quite a challenge at times - not helped by the 10m high screen outside the Sheraton on Lothian Street which was showing it live...

At the airport on Monday I knew Button must have done it - even without looking directly at any newspapers I could see that F1 was all over the front pages.

It was worth the wait, though. What a race! And what a monumental drive from Button - just what we needed to see from him. Some of those passing manoeuvres must surely become part of F1 folklore. He thoroughly deserves the crown and I'm delighted for him.

The rest of the race was a bit of a sideshow but the podium deserves a mention. A flawless second win for Webber, and superb efforts from both Kubica and Hamilton. Vettel, too - though I don't think I've ever seen him so disgruntled.

Couldn't help but go a little blurry at the sight of Button Snr and Jr embracing, and some of the scenes at the end were downright hilarious - especially Jake, DC and EJ trying to broadcast from inside the increasingly out-of-control Brawn garage. But my favourite moment was when Button leaned over the barriers and kissed Lee McKenzie - well, you would, wouldn't you?

I was really disappointed to miss what sounded like a fantastic race, but thanks to the BBC Iplayer, I've just watched the highlight show.

Brilliant drive by Button, he took some big risks, but pulled it off and is a deserved champion. Excellent stuff.

As a Button fan from day 1 and even through the playboy years, I'm delighted.
