Just to add that Mclaren can't appeal a drivethrough penalty, which this was.

 

Yes, they can if the penalty was imposed in the last 5 laps of the race.

You can appeal to have a time penalty after the race instead of a drivethrough, but not to have it overturned.

 

 

No, the rule clearly states that if the penalty is commited in the last 5 laps, instead of being given a drive-through the driver is charged with 25 seconds, and is possible to appeal it. And I hope the appeal is succesful, this stupid decision shouldn't tarnish this excellent championship, even Niki Lauda called it "the worst judgement in the history of F1 "

Of course its possible to appeal against it. Otherwise McClaren wouldnt be...appealling against it.....
