McLaren have been given a suspended three-race ban for misleading stewards at the Australian Grand Prix by motor sport's governing body, the FIA.
The British team admitted five charges of breeching Formula One rules at a special inquiry on Wednesday in Paris.
The penalty will only enforced upon Lewis Hamilton's team if "further facts emerge" about this incident or if there is a "further breech" of the rules.
The FIA said team boss Martin Whitmarsh had been "open and honest" with them.
