He would end up the race in sixth place behind Renault's Robert Kubica and Force India's Adrian Sutil.

As for Jenson Button and the Ferrari drivers, after a slower start they had to make bigger efforts to overtake a very consisten Jaime Alguersuari. After passing the Spaniard Massa took off securing sixth position, leaving Button and Alonso fighting for seventh place. With two laps to go a mechanical problem saw the Ferrari driver retire from the race, leaving Sepang with no points.

Jaime Alguersuari and William's Nico Hulkenberg grabbed the last scoring positions in Malaysia.They were followed by Toro Rosso's Sebastian Buemi and Williams' Rubens Barrichello.

In the new coming teams championship, Virgin's Luca di Grassi got the best result, ahead of the two HRT's of Chandhok and Bruno Senna and a slow paced Jarno Trulli, in his Lotus.
