80% chance of Rain for Qualy and 50% chance of rain for the race. Could be interesting, even make Melbourne look sane.

Button Predicts all Hell will break loose.

Jenson Button reckons "all hell will break loose" if it rain as forecast during Sunday's Malaysian GP.

While the Malaysian race is known for its tropical heat and intense humidity, this year fierce tropical storms are also expected.

The latest forecast gives an 80% possibility of heavy rain affecting Saturday's qualifying, with a 50% chance of the race being disrupted by rain on Sunday.

Should it come down on either day it promises to be a difficult and trying time for the drivers, who will be competing for the first time in the rain without traction control.

Although many of them have done some laps in the wet with no TC during testing, there is a vast difference between testing and racing.

And according to Honda driver Button, the intensity of the downpours expected could wreck havoc on Sunday's grand prix.

"I heard they've built some good asphalt run-offs here now," Button told Autosport. "That's great because we're going to need it.

"Here, it never drizzles, it's always outrageous and all hell will break loose without traction control.

"If there is water running across the circuit, it will be tough. In low-speed corners, if you exit and you've still got lock on and hit a river you don't know is there, it will just spin the wheel and you'll be gone. Trying to control it is very difficult."
