"At the pit stop, I ended up with some drops of petrol in my eye, from the fuel line stuck on Kovalainen's car and then I was engulfed in flames and blinded: I was going to stop, but luckily the flames soon went out. Even now, my eyes are still burning, but I'm alright. After the restart, I could only try and use the strategy to move up the order and at least I brought home a few points. I am disappointed because today I'm sure we could have made it to the podium."
So all you Kimi haters can just ask yourself, have you been doused in petrol, set on fire and leisurely returned to a F1 GP?
Good show Jens, but I do like Vettel and I I'm sure in the right car he will be (is) very good. #jensonbutton

Kamui Kobayashi holding off points leader Jenson Button then going on to place 9th in his first ever F1 race.
Jenson Button singing "We Are The Champions" badly over the team radio.
Regardless of whether you like F1 or not, it's definitely been an interesting season. #jensonbutton

A great achievement by Ross Brawn (sure that's your real name, call me Wolf Blitzer), but it's sad to see the crass commercialization has already started!
The BBC says the Brawn rear diffuser innovation made the car significantly better while other teams protested until everyone adopted it, nevertheless Button winning first 6 of 7 is impressive. He lost in so-so cars and won in a good one. #jensonbutton

The Brawn domination early on was a combination of extremely good aero efficiency and tyre preservation and a leading pack that had bad cars (Mclaren, Ferrari et al). It was also a result of the cubic dollars that Honda poured into the 09 car in 08. #jensonbutton

@skierpage: We beat them to the track by a couple months. #jensonbutton

I'm so glad for Jenson. He's been a favorite of mine ever since I saw him on Top Gear and to see him win the WC was just stellar. #jensonbutton
