Button: 'Hamilton was great'

Jenson Button has praised McLaren teammate Lewis Hamilton after he qualified on pole for Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix.

Button was just a tenth of a second behind Hamilton in second and while he was content with his own drive, he acknowledged that his fellow Brit "did a great job".

"Qualifying has been pretty good to me in the last two races so I can't complain too much," said Button.

"It's good for us as a team to be on the front row again. It's nice to hear all your mechanics cheering in the background.

"I wanted it the other way round, but Lewis did a great job. It's going to be a fun Turn 1."

Button will be looking to make it two wins from two after winning last week's race in Australia.
