Jenson Button won a Malaysian Grand Prix cut short by heavy rain on Sunday for his second victory in a row for the new Brawn GP team.Half points were awarded because only 32 of the scheduled 56 laps had been completed.
The race was red-flagged when a torrential downpour, with thunderclaps and lightning streaking across the darkened Sepang skies, made driving conditions impossible even behind the safety car.
Button, the championship leader who had again started from pole position after a Brawn one-two in the Australian season-opener last weekend, was leading behind the safety car when officials called a halt.
Button, who won in Melbourne with the safety car pitting only on the final corner, had already made four pitstops in the changing conditions.
