Kimi Raikkonen has take the first win of his comeback in a surprisingly exciting Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Raikkonen pulled his way up to second on the first lap after starting from fifth on the grid, meaning he inherited the race's lead when Lewis Hamilton stopped on track with a possible engine electrical problem on lap 20.

Sebastian Vettel will start from the pit lane for Monday morning's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix after Red Bull elected to withdraw his car from parc ferme conditions.

Red Bull was summoned to the stewards immediately after qualifying where it pleaded its case of force majeure for stopping the car - which the FIA accepted.
