The way the BBC are reporting it then it seems a race ban will be the most extreme of punishments to be doled out by the FIA if any at all. A grid penalty is more likely but as shown by Hamilton on multiple occasions starting from the back isn't much of a punishment considering the speed advantage of the Mercedes.Retrospectively altering this race result doesn't help Hamilton much either, a DSQ would mean it would be back to an 11 point difference.The punishment to Rosberg that would benefit Hamilton the most would be the race ban although I'm still thinking Mercedes need to take control and bring in a reserve driver for the next race, this wouldn't hamper their WCC and would give Hamilton a fighting chance of getting on equal terms while clearly showing that the team comes 1st and drivers second.
