Pic accepts penalty is fair

Charles Pic says he accepts the penalty he got for his incident during final practice for the Singapore Grand Prix.

The Marussia driver was handed a 20-second time penalty for Sunday's race - as well as one day's Community Service for the FIA - after overtaking a car under red flags in the third and final practice session.

The Frenchman said he he agreed fully with the stewards' decision.

"I have seen the information and I would like to say that I completely agree with it. It was a mistake on my part and I will use the experience wisely," said Pic.

Pic qualified for the race in 22nd position, right behind team-mate Timo Glock.
