F1: Button wins in stationary end to Malaysian Grand Prix
Jenson Button scored his second successive win of the season in Sepang, Malaysia sitting under an umbrella covering his stationary car. Confused when his team told him he had won, he took several seconds to switch from focussed racing driver who might at any moment be told to go out and risk his life to relieved, happy and celebratory. Five points and safe is a whole lot better than a possible ten points but the car in the gravel and the driver on a stretcher.

Insanity was put on hold with 23 laps of the Malaysian GP still to run, and the result declared with standings as at the end of lap 32, the lap completed before the red flags came out.
A stunning start from Rosberg had left him in a commanding position.
But as the rain came, tyre poker became the order of the day.
Ferrari, in another gaffe, put Kimi out on full wets - so long before the rain that he was losing 20 seconds per lap and then whenit did rain his tyres were shot.
Button, after four stops - three of them in six laps - was leading when the race was stopped and declared the winner when the time for running the race expired.
