Brawn GP’s Jenson Button has won his second race in a row after the Malaysian Grand Prix was abandoned after 33 laps at Sepang due to heavy rain.
Nick Heidfeld took second place for BMW Sauber, with Timo Glock third for Toyota. Half points are awarded as the race ran for less than 75 percent of its scheduled distance.
“What a crazy race, it really was,” said Button.
“Choosing the tyres was very difficult, because normally here when it rains it pours, but it didn’t to start with.
“We went for the full wet tyre and it destroyed itself, and then I saw Timo (Glock) flying up behind us with the inter, so we put the inter on.
Toyota’s Jarno Trulli came fourth, Rubens Barrichello in the other Brawn was fifth and Mark Webber in the Red Bull was sixth.
World champion Lewis Hamilton picked valuable points by coming seventh with Nico Rosberg filling out the top eight.
