Jenson Button remains in a confident mood after his success in Australia, and thinks that McLaren should be able to deal with the extremely different Malaysian conditions without too much trouble.

The new McLaren MP4-27 looked fantastic in the relatively cool conditions in Melbourne, but the tropical heat and long sweeping corners of the Sepang circuit in Kuala Lumpur will test another set of the car’s capabilities. “Within the team we’ve talked about Malaysia, and obviously it’s a very different place than Melbourne,” said Button.
