Ferrari will find out their fate for using team orders at a Formula 1 disciplinary hearing on Wednesday in Paris.
The team have already been fined $100,000 for giving Felipe Massa a coded message to allow team mate Fernando Alonso past and subsequently go on and win the German Grand Prix. The case has since been referred to the World Motor Sport Council.
Team principal Stefano Domenicali said: "We're sure the World Council will understand our position".
According to the F1 rulebook, Ferrari are in breach of two codes of conduct; article 39.1, which rules against team orders and article 151.c, which rules against acts which 'prejudice the interests of any competition'.
FIA president Jean Todt has extricated himself from the disciplinary process, considering his previous role as Ferrari team boss. Deputy Graham Stoker will preside over the Paris hearing.
Ex-FIA president Max Mosley, told German newspaper Die Welt that both Ferrari drivers should lose the points they gained from their controversial one-two at Hockenheim.
The FIA decision could be critical to Ferrari's championship chances this season, which has only six races left to run.
This is not the first time that Ferrari have come under scrutiny for team orders. Rubens Barrichello was infamously told to yield and let team mate Michael Schumacher past and ultimately win the race at the 2002 Austrian Grand Prix.
