Caterham F1 Team Charles Pic has been handed a drive through penalty for Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix.

It is noted this is the second consecutive event in which the driver has driven through a red light.' As a consequence, Pic must serve a drive through penalty within the first five laps of the race. Pic had already been penalised prior to the Japanese Grand Prix weekend, courtesy of picking up his third reprimand of the year in Korea.
