Kimi looks back at a disappointing 2009 Malaysia GP in Sepang in his official column.

The chairman arrived for his post-Sepang debrief and claimed that everyone at Maranello needed to react positively to the results of the opening two races and move forward as one, as they had during their years of success.

Bridgestone Potenza intermediate and wet tyres made their first race appearance of 2009 as severe rain fell on the Sepang circuit after a dry race start with everyone on the soft compound dry tyre, causing the Malaysian Grand Prix to be stopped after 32 laps, with Jenson Button awarded the win.

Clearly we cannot be happy with our start to the season: in Melbourne, I was the one to make a mistake and today it was the team, the result being we find ourselves without any points.”

Jenson Button holds his nerve in treacherous conditions to take his second consecutive win of 2009, as the Malaysian GP is red flagged with 23 laps remaining.

Final grid positions and fuel loads for tomorrow Malaysian GP.

Bridgestone’s soft tyre allowed Jenson Button to set an exciting pole lap of 1min 35.181secs at Sepang for the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Qualifying was something of a struggle for Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro, given that Felipe Massa was knocked out as early as Q1 and Kimi Raikkonen could do no better than ninth in Q3.

The two Ferrari men ended the day at the top of the time sheet, with Kimi ahead of Felipe by little more than one tenth.

Bridgestone’s soft tyre proved to be the fastest rubber on track at Sepang for the first day of the Malaysian Grand Prix. Kimi Raikkonen’s Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro set the day’s fastest lap time in the afternoon practice session held in hot but cloudy weather conditions.
