Any news/clarification on that?
No - that whole shenanigan was an RBR construct. They're actually expanding their tunnel to cool their exhaust.

Funny how the FOM quickly removed the video on Youtube.

Following the FIA announcement, I would now like to see a joint statement from Fernando/Ferrari that "We asked for clarification, and following the FIA response we agree that Red Bull/Seb have nothing to answer for about any yellow flag incidents in Brazil" to try and stop years of fanboys frothing and foaming over yellow flags, undeserved World Champions, FIA conspiracies, inconsistent rules etc.

They don't have to, but I think it would be a nice touch.

They remove all recent F1 videos.

Agreed. It would be good for closure

Yes mbvinnie I totally agree with you. At this point, I have doubts over the integrity of the sport.

I cant say that there is anything wrong with asking for clarification. The only things teams can see are their own car cameras and the regular world feed. If something was brought to their attention later on based on video that thay did not have access to, it is fair that they question it. They didnt protest, they asked for clarification, which happens are many many GPs every year. FIA said case closed (based on this new video) and Ferrari will be OK with that.

Agree, Ferrari asking for clarification is fine and reasoanble, and it is better to clarify first and then protest, than protest immediately without really knowing.
A statement that they agree with and accept the clarification would be a nice ending to quite a frustrating episode.

well, if FIA says the first signal count, no matter light or flag, then case is closed. We just needed this small clarification because from the regulations it was not clear......

Agree totally. It was always a non-story spread by the media. Seems that there are a lot of haters out there!
