Valtteri Bottas handed grid penalty

Williams's Valtteri Bottas is moved back to 18th on the grid for impeding Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo during qualifying for the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Valtteri Bottas has been handed a three-place grid penalty for impeding Daniel Ricciardo during qualifying for the Malaysian Grand Prix earlier today.

The Red Bull driver complained that the Finn, who initially finished 15th, blocked him during the second part of the session.

The penalty, which drops the Williams to 18th, is Bottas's second of the season, after he was punished for an unscheduled gearbox change at the Australian Grand Prix earlier this month.

The block did not prevent the Australian reaching the top 10 shootout, where he posted the fifth fastest time.
