Lotus' Kimi Raikkonen will start the Malaysian Grand Prix from 10th position after he was given a three-place penalty.
Raikkonen was called to the stewards' office after the race, and they confirmed the Finn was punished for impeding Nico Rosberg during the third and final round of qualifying.

McLaren pair Jenson Button and Sergio Perez will move to seventh and ninth respectively with Force India's Adrian Sutil taking eighth place on the grid.

The Finn had a dream start to the season with a win last week in Melbourne, but the warmer conditions in Malaysia have proved to be more than tricky for the former McLaren driver.

Raikkonen said he was disappointed to lose the places, but remained positive of his chances of pushing up the grid.
