Pic gets ten place grid penalty for engine change
12 October, 2012
Oct.12 (Reuters) Marussia’s French Formula One rookie Charles Pic will collect a 10 place grid penalty for Sunday’s Korean Grand Prix for exceeding his engine allocation for the season.
Drivers are allowed eight engines for the 20 race championship but Pic will be using his ninth, incurring an automatic penalty.
“We plan to fit a new engine to Charles’ car this evening in the knowledge that, as his ninth engine of the season, we will incur a 10-place grid penalty on Sunday,” team principal John Booth said in a statement.
Pic has not qualified higher than 19th on the 24 car F1 grid so far this season.

Just confirmed, he will start in the car park.
When he reaches the back do they then move him forwards?
He will start just about 14th nice punishment or is it he ends up in the pits.
doesn’t really make a difference.
