Jenson Button recorded his second consecutive victory for Brawn GP at the weather-affected Malaysian Grand Prix.
The British driver, who had qualified in pole, was leading on the 33rd of 56 scheduled laps when the race was stopped after a thunderstorm broke at the Sepang International Circuit.
With the torrential rain refusing to relent and darkness descending on the track due to the late starting time, organisers eventually decided not to restart the race, awarding half-points to the top eight finishers.
Nick Heidfeld benefited from a decision to run a heavy fuel load as he finished second for BMW Sauber while Timo Glock was third after a strong run in intermediates during a period before the heavens fully opened.
Jarno Trulli was fourth in the second Toyota, with Brawn GP's Rubens Barrichello fifth and Mark Webber sixth for Red Bull.
World champion Lewis Hamilton was seventh for McLaren with Nico Rosberg eighth for Williams.
It was the first race to be red-flagged for rain since the 1991 Australian Grand Prix in Adelaide
