Although Button held onto the lead after the first corner, following Massa's retirement, the safety came out, thus resulting in Button's wheels cooling down, from which Alonso took full advantage, overtook him, and drove off into the distance.It was a worrying race for Button, who was on pole, but in the race suffered greatly again from tyre problems, which appeared to lose grip due to being unable to retain heat after the slow laps behind the safety car. His misery was final compounded when, with Fisichella in chase, at the final corner of the final lap, Button Honda engine blew up, falling little more than 100 metres from the finish. Button clearly has a car which can not match his undoubted talent.In other news, driver of the day, as agreed by the ITV F1 commentary teams, was Ralf Schumacher, who having suffered a drive-through pit penalty, was able to bring an improving Toyota to third. Kimi Raikkonen finished second, but never really set the world alight. Nick Hiedfeld also had a good race, 8th on the grid - 4th in the race. Schumacher (Michael) had a horrid race, in which he was overtaken by Liuzzi of Torro Rosso, before falling foul of the exit curb of the final corner and smashing into the wall.And finally, Scott Speed of Torro Rosso finished in 8th, what would have been the Red Bull junior team's first points finish, before later the race stewards relegated him to 11th for ignoring yellow flags. He had finished ahead of the senior Red Bull of Coulthard, and that combinded with Liuzzi's early out-performing of Schumi raises question about the power of the rev-limited v10 engines which only they are allowed (all other teams use v8).Full story - <a href="http://www.formula1.com/race/news/4190/753.html" target="_blank">http://www.formula1.com/race/news/4190/753.html</a>In SupaLiga, in which the main championship has begun, warm-up season champions Sheldon's 'Speedy Devils' are in third (31 pts), TG's 'IG Racing' (What does IG stand for???) are in the lead with 36 points, with John's 'pipjack' trailing by 3 points. The Wolf's 'Wolfs bangers', a late entry to SupaLiga, shot into 4th (30 pts), having not participated in the warm-up season.And to anyone who had Jenson in their team, I feel your pain <img src="https://www.satellites.co.uk/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/sad.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" />.</blockquote>
