Brawn Again: Jenson Button Secures Second Win as Malaysia Goes Under

Jenson Button has won his second Grand Prix in Malaysia after the race was halted after 31 laps due to a massive downpour.

The Brit led when the race was suspended with the Germans Nick Heidfeld of BMW and Timo Glock of Toyota in second and third.

Due to the early finish of the race points gained with be halved, but that won’t take anything away from Button who is really laying down a marker at during this years championship.

Even after the race was suspended, there was some confusion over whether it would be re-started, until the time permitted for the race to be concluded was surpassed meant there was no-way the race could continue.

Button’s team-mate Rubens Barrichello came in fifth behind Jarno Trulli, as the Brawn GP cars showed that their outstanding pace was yet again the difference, as with the previous race in Australia.

Ferrari yet again endured a difficult weekend, as tyre changes before it started to rain gave neither driver a chance to head up the leader-board, with Felipe Massa finishing at high as 9th.

Two successive races without a single point on the board is sure to worry the Ferrari team, during a race that they were expected to dominate.

Lewis Hamilton will be content with his weekends work, with a 7th place finish in what is still a struggling McLaren car, something which found out Hekki Kovalainen who crashed out within the first lap.

The World Champion has made no secret about his feelings about a makeshift car, but two points finishes in a row will bring some optimism, after a week full of controversy.

The Toyota team will be delighted with their weekend with a second podium finish in two races.

But it’s sure to be Button’s victory that will grab the headlines, after Niko Rosberg overtook the Brit before the first corner.

It wasn’t until just soon before the race was stopped that Button re-took the lead surpassing Timo Glock.

Rosberg will be disappointed that he couldn’t lead till the end of the race, but numerous tyre changes re-vamped the entire field producing confusion even when the race had ended as to what were the eventual finishing positions.
