Bianchi and Pic to receive grid penalty for Japanese GP


Marussia’s Jules Bianchi and Caterham’s Charles Pic receive a 10-place grid penalty for next Japanese Grand Prix after picking up their third reprimand of the season in Korea.

In post-race evaluation, the stewarding panel judge that the Marussia and Caterham drivers failed to slow sufficiently under yellow flags, having studied the relevant telemetry data supplied by the teams following Sunday's race.

Adrian Sutil also visited the stewards' office after the Grand Prix to discuss his Turn 3 collision with Red Bull's Mark Webber, but the Force India driver escaped a penalty.
