The Stewards panel indicated that Bianchi failed to slow down for the yellow flag while Pic was found 2km/h faster than he previously was when he passed the yellow flag.
The penalty comes as a result of the FIA’s regulation that any drivers with three reprimands in the season will automatically hit with a 10-place penalty.
Meanwhile, Force India driver Adrian Sutil was fortunate to escape without a penalty despite colliding with Mark Webber which forced the Australian to retire from the race.
