Biography

Pic is one of the four French drivers who will participate in the Formula One World Championship this year. He started his career in motorsport not in Karting but in Moto racing. At the age of thirteen, he began competing in the French and Italian Go-Kart championships, where he obtained strong results despite his lack of experience.

In 2006, he moved into single-seaters and finished third in the French Formula Campus championship. He then transitioned to Formula Renault 2.0 and finished third in Eurocup. He then raced for two years in Formula Renault 3.5, where he finished sixth, and third in 2009. Charles moved into GP2 for 2010 and stayed for a second term, earning two more wins, three pole positions, and five podiums in 2011.

He completed the 2011 Formula One young driver test in Abu Dhabi with Marussia and graduated with the team for the 2012 season. This year, he will be driving the car number 20 with Caterham F1 Team, alongside the rookie Giedo Van der Garde.
