#3 Brazilian GP 2012
The reaction said it all. And could you blame him? This guy put in his everything in a less-than-perfect car and dragged it to the last race of the season with a chance to win a well-deserved championship. And it seemed like victory was his when on the very first lap Vettel was punted and had his car damaged.
A car damaged and currently at the back of the field, surely that should have meant curtains for the German, right? But the pesky Red Bull driver kept clawing back again and again and brought himself back into contention for the championship.
All this drama was just supplementing the fight for a race victory between the two Mclaren drivers and a possible star of the future in Nico Hulkenberg. In the end, the battle which involved these five drivers culminated with only Button and Vettel coming out happy.
Button won the race as Hamilton and Hulkenberg collided, and Vettel won the championship. Hamilton would leave from his last race with McLaren without a win, while Alonso would lose yet another championship to Vettel. Hulkenberg to this day waits for his podium in F1.
