McLaren have said they intend to appeal against a stewards' decision that stripped their Formula One championship leader Lewis Hamilton of victory in the Belgian Grand Prix.
"We have no option other than to register our intention to appeal," said a team spokesman.
It was not clear whether any appeal would be allowed under the sport's rules, however.
Stewards decided Hamilton had cut the chicane and gained an advantage while battling Ferrari's world champion Kimi Raikkonen for the lead.
They imposed a retrospective drive-through penalty, applied at the end of the race in the form of 25 seconds added to his race time.
That demoted Hamilton to third place and cut his championship lead over Ferrari's Brazilian Felipe Massa, the race winner, to two points.
Meanwhile, Hamilton denied that he had gained any advantage
Speaking before stewards stripped the Formula One championship leader of his fifth win of the season and demoted him to third place with a retrospective drive-through penalty, 23-year-old Briton was adamant he had done nothing wrong.
"This is motor racing and if there is a penalty, then there's something wrong," he said after he cut a chicane in the heat of battle with Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen.
"I was ahead going into that corner, so I didn't gain an advantage from it. We were still able to race at the next corner and I gave him his spot back and I think it was fair and square," he added.
"But you know what they (the stewards) are like, so we will see."
Hamilton could speak from experience, having been punished four times already by the stewards in 12 previous races this season.
In Malaysia in March, both he and Finnish team mate Heikki Kovalainen were demoted five places on the starting grid for impeding rivals after slowing to save fuel on completing their final qualifying laps.
In Canada in June, Hamilton had only himself to blame when he ploughed into the back of Raikkonen's Ferrari while the champion waited at a red light in the pit lane.
That blunder cost the Briton 10 places on the starting grid for the subsequent French Grand Prix as well as his championship lead.
At Magny-Cours, Hamilton then added to his existing sanction by collecting a drive-through penalty for cutting a corner while overtaking.
At the same time, Kovalainen was given a five place penalty on the starting grid for impeding Mark Webber's Red Bull in qualifying.
In Valencia last month, at the European Grand Prix, Hamilton was fined 5,000 euros for turning up late to the official Thursday FIA news conference.
Massa was meanwhile fined 10,000 euros for an incident that almost caused a collision in the pit lane in that same Spanish race.
