Button aims to build on fourth

Jenson Button heads to this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix putting a branve face on the start-line problem which cost him the chance of a podium finish in Bahrain. Button droped three places at the start of the Bahrain Grand Prix but eventually fought his way back up to finish fourth.

"Having finished fourth at the Bahrain Grand Prix, which is the highest position we've finished in at the first race of a season, I am really looking forward to showing what we can do at the next race," Button said. "It's reassuring that we come away from Bahrain knowing that we genuinely have the pace to compete with the other top teams. Our car should work well at every circuit this year but particularly at hot races like Malaysia where the conditions are very well suited to our tyres."
