Despite Button failing to score points for the first time this season, he still has a 16-point cushion over Brawn teammate Barrichello who was seventh, with Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel 19 points down after he came third.
Raikkonen was hounded all the way in his Ferrari for the majority of the race by pole-sitter Giancarlo Fisichella, who gave Force India their first points in F1.
Raikkonen said: "We haven't brought new parts for the last few races as we are looking at next year. But my aim was always still to win a race because we are aiming for third in the (constructors') championship.
"We probably weren't the fastest in terms of lap time, but we were able to keep everybody behind us.
"Hopefully we can now win more."
