"Unfortunately after I got it, I got a bit of damage to the car which lost me some performance, but I was able to recover and score some points, which was important," said the winner at Silverstone last year.

Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso, who started from the second row, suffered a bad start as he was surpassed by three cars immediately. Then the former world champion was hit by a drive through penalty after cutting corner to overtake Robert Kubica during the race.

Alonso finally finished 14th, one place ahead of teammate Felipe Massa, while Renult's Kubica had to retire with 33 laps to go.

Hamilton and Button kept the top two positions in the drivers standings with 145 and 133 points respectively. McLaren led the constructors standings with 278 points.
