Raikkonen welcomes sticky conditions

Kimi Raikkonen hopes his Lotus car will thrive in the hot conditions at this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix so that he can build on his success in Melbourne.

Most of Raikkonen's best performances in 2012 came in the heat - his one victory was at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - and the 33-year-old Finn is 4/1 with bet365 to build on his victory in Australia by winning Sunday's race. Raikkonen, who is 7/2 to win the second drivers' title of his career this year following his success with Ferrari in 2007, said: "Last year we were pretty good when it was hot. "If it's anything like it was last year in Malaysia it should be OK, but we will have to wait and see how it goes."
