Button: Business as usual in Malaysia

Jenson Button says he is getting straight back to business as usual in Malaysia after Brawn GP's incredible start to the season in Melbourne

Brawn dominated the Australian Grand Prix weekend, taking a one-two in qualifying and the race, but Button said his squad will not be resting on its laurels at Sepang.

"It is great to get straight back to it," he said. "It is a great feeling after the weekend in Australia, it was a very special weekend not just for myself but the whole team, but we are quickly looking forward to the next chapter at this race weekend."

The Briton said he had quickly acclimatised to his new position as a favourite for race wins and the title, and to the fact that he now had the best car in the field after several years in one of the least competitive machines.

"It is a new feeling, it feels great," said Button. "The strange thing is after the winter we have had, you do the first race and win it , it is emotional but you get over it and get on with the next race. You get used to it very quickly."

He sees no reason why the Brawn BGP 001 will not be equally competitive in Malaysia.

"You have to hope so, in testing we were strong at two different circuits," he said. "Nobody knows yet how competitive we are compared to the rest of the field. I enjoy this circuit, I like driving this circuit, it is a fast flowing circuit and should suit our car really well."

"We don't really know how much of an advantage we had in Melbourne because of the safety car, it wasn't a perfect weekend and if we can get a perfect weekend here we will be looking strong."
