That's a great pic. Too bad it doesn't convey the whole meltdown from start to finish. It was awesome. The ITV commentators were almost yelling at Button to get out and push
I think Button had enough momentum to cross the finish line, but he would have ended up 5th, and then would have been penalized a number of starting positions for the next race. My guess is the powers that be decided it was better to stop the car before crossing the Start/Finish line
(forfeit the 3 measly points
) rather than be put out of race contention in the next GP by starting at the back of the pack!
