Apparently standard penalty is pitlane start for infringements like this!
Crazier things have happened. Kimi 2007...trailed by 17 points with 20 up for grabs only, 2 races to go.

So this is what RBR have been complaining about all these last few races—how Merc got a surge in top speed. Maybe combined with turning up the engines, this must have been a contributing factor. So now they’re paying the price with engine reliability and hopefully a penalty. Though might have been better to protest after the race and get him excluded from the results. FIA should mandate sensors on the the wing flaps of both Mercs, going forward.
With DRS activated and upper flap opened, the max distance between the 2 elements must be 85mm. On Hamilton's car was bigger. Image Unavailable, Please Login
On a high downforce track the effect is even larger. Can also use much more downforce as the difference is won back on the straight with drs open.
everyone knows it's a penalty...but this is elton w're talking about, so let's wait and see...at least Pirro isn't there!
The meeting of Adrian Newey and Paul Monaghan with the FIA, one hour before qualifying was about the bending of the rear wing of the Mercedes (flexi wing) and unrelated to the current DRS infringement investigation.
crap..wann turn of the computor but need to know...anyone have an idea when the decision will be known?
