Jensen Button's genius move 

This might not be the most memorable race for Button, but the move he made to check for damage was admirable. Button got into an accident and sent a message to his team in between the race by swaying from side to side so that they could check for damage. Straight away the team found out that his front wing is damaged. This might have not given him the desired result in the race, but it was no doubt one of the smartest moves we had witnessed from a driver.

It was the radio chat, which showed the presence of mind of the team as well who were also making sure if the wing was damaged or not. Jensen might have not won many points during this race but he proved that he still proved to be one of the smartest guys on the day.
