Charles Pic has received his second reprimand of the season from the FIA stewards, and is thus under threat of a 10-place penalty should he receive another.
The Caterham driver was reported for missing a weight check during FP2. He told the stewards that he had seen a red light and an FIA official pointing, but thought it was for the driver behind.
His previous reprimand was earned during FP2 at Spa, where he was deemed to have rejoined the track in an unsafe manner.
While a 10-place penalty isn’t quite as disastrous for Pic as it might be for drivers closer to the front of the grid it might yet give a little edge to Marussia as the battle for 10th place in the championship hots up.
