The easiest, and probably safest, way to avoid what happened in Silverstone would be disqualifying the driver. With nothing to gain and everything to lose, there will be no reason to do it, unless it's completely necessary.

That would be even less safe than what they're doing now. At least this way a communication will still give them a chance to finish and score points. If the price of communication is automatic disqualification, with no chance of correction, then teams will definitely avoid telling their drivers anything safety related unless its on the absolute brink, in the hopes that the race can somehow be salvaged. At least this easy, measures can be taken that won't end your race.

True, I don't know what I was thinking.

A five position penalty could be the sweetest spot. It's damaging enough to try to avoid it as much as possible but it's not the end of the race.
