Coulthard lands a penalty for Malaysia
David Coulthard will start Sunday`s Malaysian Grand Prix from near the back of the grid after his Ferrari V8 blew on the slowing down lap in Bahrain.
"Even if I get pole in Malaysia I will start 11th," said the Scot, whose Red Bull Ferrari team neglected to mention the detail in its post-race press release.

Failing to get a single engine through two complete race weekends results in a ten-position qualifying penalty at the next event.

BMW Sauber`s Jacques Villeneuve will also start ten places back in Sepang, after his V8 expired spectacularly without warning in Bahrain.

It is now the subject of an analysis back in Munich.
Meanwhile, F1`s new permanent steward made his debut reprimand in Bahrain, scolding BMW Sauber driver Nick Heidfeld after a dice with Coulthard.

The FIA`s Tony Scott-Andrews ruled that Heidfeld had wrongfully forced the Red Bull driver off the track after completing a pass.
