(Alastair Staley for the Lotus F1 Team)

The Lotus F1 Team's Pastor Maldonado will receive a five place grid penalty for Sunday's Russian Grand Prix as a follow up to his five place penalty last time out in Japan after the Venezuelan had used more then the elements allowed for each power units.

Maldonado had qualified for the Japanese Grand Prix in 17th place so started from the back of the grid so was unable to take the regular 10 place grid penalty.

Meanwhile the Sahara Force India F1 Team's Nico Hulkenberg will go into Sunday's race with a five place grid penalty following an unauthorized gearbox change.
