"If Arrows try to do what they did in France again at Hockenheim, then the race director is very likely to prepare a report for the stewards," one source close to FIA, the International Automobile Federation, said.
The team, whose survival hangs in the balance as they try to secure new investment, have said they will make every effort to complete the weekend in Germany. The team missed Friday's free practice at the French Grand Prix, the second race in a row that they had been absent on the first day of action, and then the two cars failed to qualify.
Arrows pulled off an 11th hour escape act at the British Grand Prix this month when the principal Tom Walkinshaw paid for their Cosworth engines out of his own pocket.
