Kimi Raikkonen insists that victory at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix makes no differences to the ambitions of the Lotus team.

Kimi Raikkonen has said that victory in the first race of the season in Australia has made no difference to Lotus Renault's ambitions.

Raikkonen was a somewhat surprise winner ahead of Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel at Melbourne on Sunday and now heads to this weekend's Grand Prix in Malaysia in confident mood.

"We don't do anything different this weekend than we did in the previous race or last year," said Raikkonen, who won the world title with Ferrari in 2007.

"If people think that we are leaders, it makes no difference to our work. What we did or what we're going to do this weekend or any other weekend. Like I said, we try to do best and hopefully we can score some good points."

This weekend's race begins at 8am on Sunday and you can follow live text coverage here on Sports Mole from 7.30am.
