Will anything come of the FIA investigation into Mclaren?

McLaren are under investigation by Formula 1’s governing body, the FIA, over a possible breach of F1’s sporting code in Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix.
Ron Dennis revealed to ITV Sport following the race that he had ordered his drivers to drive conservatively as soon as it became clear that McLaren was in command following the first round of pit-stops to ensure maximum points.
“The FIA has launched an investigation into incidents involving the McLaren Mercedes team at the 2007 Monaco Grand Prix in light of a possible breach of the International Sporting Code," read a statement by the governing body on Monday.
“The relevant evidence is under review and a further announcement will be made in due course.”

Team orders were outlawed in F1 following the Austrian GP in 2002, when Ferrari caused outrage by ordering race-leader Rubens Barrichello to move over for Michael Schumacher on the final lap of the race.
Do you think anything will come from this?

i think its stupid. better have a 1-2 than team mates taking each other out. they were BOTH told the same thing, not just Lewis being told to back off. Monaco is a notorious track usually with loads of prangs, so it is obvious that Ron would want his drivers to take care and both finish the race. Ron was predicting a safety car incident, had that occurred then Lewis could quite possibly have won. its not exactly team orders if both drivers are given the same instructions. if the outcome is to gift Lewis the win and take it off Fernando i think it would be grossly unfair. Fernando drove a perfect race and deserved the win. Lewis would not want his first win given to him like that, he would want to earn it. if they deduct points that would give Ferrari the advantage and that WOULD be changing the outcome of the race.
