Congrats to JB for a great calculated win!
Hamilton had it, and I think the call for the super soft when the rest went to softs was still right for him as he runs through tires a bit faster. His spin in the end cost him the race I think. That put him in direct contention with Button which may have helped encourage a pit stop to separate them a bit. Since he had to pit once more regardless, the loss of time was really what did it.
Also, on the penalty what I don't understand is that it was back markers passing by him. Why should the race leader get a penalty for impeding on a back marker? The safety side of the issue is important but surely they should yield to the front runners in all circumstances.
