Button suffers Brazil blow but Barrichello delighted with pole

Jenson Button will start a disastrous 14th on the grid following a rain-wrecked qualifying session ahead of tomorrow’s Brazilian Grand Prix, with Brawn GP teammate Rubens Barichello taking pole position in front of a delighted home crowd.

The championship leader’s position equals his worst performance of the season in Belgium when he crashed out on the opening lap after an accident with Renault’s Romain Grosjean.
