The FIA confirmed afterwards that no further action would be taken. The investigation found that the usual blue-light warning at the end of the pit lane did not work and no blue flag signal was given to Barrichello as he emerged from the pits.
De la Rosa had to take action to avoid the Honda. Following the palaver at Monza the FIA has confirmed it will only punish drivers who have been deemed to have deliberately blocked another car.
