Button and Kobayashi went wheel-to-wheel several times
From the explosive start to the jubilant scenes as Felipe Massa waved the chequered flag at the new world champion Jenson Button, the Brazilian Grand Prix was a spectacular race.
Take a look back at some of the highlights with this collection of pictures.

I can answer that – if you go to the official McLaren site, all the pics from all the GPs are like the ones here. It’s a shame and in this day of age I can’t understand why the pics are so low res… But for free, that’s all there are. Other sites (like f1.racing.live.com – you pay and get pics from their photographers from all teams, tracks, pit-babes, paddock, managers, details…)
Great job with the site, Keith – it’s my first season here with you guys and I’m hooked :)

I have to say that I am a bit impressed by Kobayashi’s performance. He finished the race! Defended without any fear. Unlike most newbies I have seen.
Maybe the car is becoming better towards the end of season? But if the car is fast, will Räikkönen and Kobayashi make a team for 2010?
