The 29-year-old Briton and Brazilian team-mate Rubens Barrichello delivered a flawless performance to lead another Brawn GP one-two finish.
Button finished 7.6 seconds ahead of teammate Rubens Barrichello at the Moanco street circuit race. Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen earned Ferrari its first top-three finish of the season by taking third. Felipe Massa was fourth for Ferrari ahead of Red Bull's Mark Webber. Defending F1 champion Lewis Hamilton, the 2008 Monaco winner, came 12th after starting last on the grid.
