Button wins world championship!
World champion Jenson Button: "It's really amazing... my voice has gone! After the last few races, this one makes up for it. It was awesome. I'm world champion, baby. That race deserves it. Twenty-one years ago, I jumped into a kart and I loved winning - but I never expected to be world champion. Kobayashi is absolutely crazy" Jenson Button's dad John: "I'm a bit drained. The last seven or eight laps, we were all crying like little girls. I'm all washed out at the moment, I've got to accept where he is now, up there with all those great names. I haven't got my head round it."
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner: "Congratulations to Jenson. We pushed him as hard as we could. If neither of our drivers could win it, I'm delighted for him. We had a target to win the Grand Prix and we did it. Mark Webber drove faultlessly." |

A very emotional Ross Brawn: "It's still got to sink in. It will take a while... [breaks down] It's just special. Very special. The work the team did over the winter... All the people who couldn't be with us, because we had to re-size the team after the winter, my thanks go to them. I hope they've enjoyed it because they've been part of what we've done."
Sebastian Vettel: "There's a guy happier than me today. I think it was the maximum we could do today. If we had qualified well, we could have won the race, but we didn't. I was praying for rain - but it didn't come down. Congratulations to Jenson and to Brawn." |
