My guess is that Hamilton thought (as did lots of people, including me) he would hand Button his arse on a plate - hasn't happened!

The thing is Hamilton was told to save fuel and that both cars were the same -Button had to save fuel too. Whether or not they needed to save fuel or whether it was code for -stay as you are and don't push I don't know!
I think that as far as Hamilton was concerned they were just cruising to the finish as they were, but Button decided otherwise. He took Hamilton by surprise -as it would do if you'd been told both cars had to slow down! I think Hamilton saw it as a stab in the back by his team mate Button. That's why he took the place straight back as soon as he could and why there was no celebrating going on after the chequered flag in the car or at anytime before they were on the podium!
Did you hear just before they went out on the podium Hamilton asking Button what he had been told about saving fuel and Lewis stopped when he saw the cameras were there?!!
It was a dirty trick by Button if you ask me!
