The Englishman clocked a time of one minute 35.181 seconds around the 5.543-km track in his Brawn GP to qualify ahead of Toyota’s Jarno Trulli.
Button, who won the season-opener in Melbourne after also taking pole, said he owed the performance to improvements made to his car overnight following Friday’s practice sessions.
Jarno Trulli says he aims to take the fight to Jenson Button and Brawn GP in the Malaysian Grand Prix after putting his ‘perfect’ Toyota on the outside front row spot.
Following his chaotic and controversial Melbourne weekend, Trulli is keen to show what he can really do at Sepang.
