The next two races in Malaysia and Bahrain were just as unsuccessful, Button finishing 12th behind teammate Barrichello in Malaysia, and not even completing a lap in Bahrain, after colliding with Red Bull Racing driver David Coulthard at Turn 4.
As dúas seguintes carreiras en Malaisia e Bahrain foron igual, Button acabou 12º detrás do seu compañeiro Barrichello en Malaisia, e nin sequera completou unha volta en Bahrain, logo de chocar co Red Bull Racing do piloto David Coulthard na curva 4.
