Raikkonen Given Penalty

Kimi Raikkonen has been given a three-place grid penalty for tomorrow's Malaysian Grand Prix. 
The Finn was expected to line up 7th on the grid, but has now been dragged back to 10th after being deemed to have blocked Nico Rosberg in the final session of today's Qualifying. 
Despite claims from the team that their man was suffering from hydraulic-issues, the FIA stood by Rosberg's view that he was indeed blocked. The move means Raikkonen will have to fight through the top ten if he is to repeat his race victory in last weekends Australian Grand Prix.
