Polesitter Button commanded the race from start to finish, while his team mate Barrichello had to recover after stalling at the start, and having two collisions, and changing his damaged nose at the first pitstop.
After the race, Trulli was penalised 25 seconds for passing during the final safety car period, promoting Lewis Hamilton to third place, and demoting Trulli to 12th place.
The race finished under the safety car after Sebastian Vettel and Robert Kubica crashed into each other while battling over second place with only a handful of laps remaining. Vettel was later penalised 10 grid positions for the upcoming Malaysian GP.
Lewis Hamilton in the McLaren-Mercedes was third (after the stewards decision), followed by Timo Glock in the second Toyota in four, Fernando Alonso in the Renault in fifth, Nico Rosberg in the Williams-Toyota in sixth, Sebastien Buemi in the Toro Rosso-Ferrari scoring two points in the first start for the rookie and Sebastien Bourdais scored the final point in eighth place.
