Jenson Button was beaming once again despite the rain as he made it back-to-back victories in the 2009 Formula One season in a "crazy" Malaysian Grand Prix.
The Brawn GP driver was leading on the 33rd of 56 scheduled laps when the race had to be red-flagged due to
monsoon conditions at the Sepang circuit.
With the torrential rain refusing to relent and darkness descending on the track due to the late start time, organisers eventually decided not to restart the race, awarding half-points to the top eight finishers.
"What a crazy race," said the 29-year-old, who started on pole position but dropped to fourth after the first sequence of corners as he was passed by Rosberg, Trulli and the Renault of Fernando Alonso.
"My start was pretty bad. I had a lot of oversteer in the car and I don't think I got heat into the rear tyres. I went back to fourth, got back up to third and eventually got back to the front and I was pretty happy. Our pace was good and then the rain started," said Button.
