Frome Flyer Jenson Button held off a charge from Williams' Felipe Massa to finish a solid sixth for McLaren in the Malaysian F1 Grand Prix at Sepang on Sunday.
Button, who started tenth on the grid after a disappointing qualifying session on Saturday, was a solitary seventh for much of the race.
Massa was able to catch him but defiant driving from Button saw him fend off the Brazilian for the final ten laps.
He was also helped by Massa ignoring team orders to let fast-finishing Williams team-mate Valtteri Bottas through to challenge Button in the last couple of laps.
Lewis Hamilton led a Mercedes one-two with Nico Rosberg, who retains the lead in the drivers' championship after two rounds. Button is fourth on 23 points.
