run

Button won the Grand Prix ahead of Vettel and Alonso. It was Button's 200th Grand Prix start.

The race was characterized by changing weather conditions. At the start the track was so wet that the drivers started on intermediates. The track then dried out and the drivers switched to slicks. There was another rain shower in the second half of the race, but switching to intermediates did not bring any advantage during this phase.

Hamilton, who had achieved the most lead laps, turned while in the lead, opted for the wrong strategy in the second half of the race and had to take a drive-through penalty. He finally finished in fourth place.
