Abu Dhabi - Newly crowned world champion Jenson Button was quickest in the final free practice session Saturday for the inaugural Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Brawn GP driver recorded a time of 1 minute 40.625 seconds on the new 5.554-kilometre Yas Marina Ciruit, beating Lewis Hamilton of McLaren-Mercedes but just two thousandths of a second.
Button secured the world title at the penultimate race in Brazil two weeks ago but the race for second place is still very much alive with Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel on 74 points, just two ahead of Button's teammate Rubens Barrichello, who finished third.
Qualifying for Sunday's race takes place later Saturday.
