Charles Pic has been handed a ‘community service’ penalty after he overtook under red flags during the third free practice session for the Singapore Grand Prix.
The Marussia driver has been ordered to appear at an FIA Action for Road Safety campaign in the near future as part of his penalty.
He has also been handed a 20-second penalty which will be added on to his race time come Sunday.
The penalty was given at the discretion of FIA president Jean Todt.
“A penalty of 20 seconds to be added to the driver’s race time and, in addition, the driver and his team engineer to perform one day’s Community Service for FIA Action for Road Safety campaign at the instruction of the FIA president.
“The driver and team representative conceded the breach which involved the driver passing four sets of red lights/flags, then overtaking another car.”
