Of course they would be classified - everyone who completes X% of the winner's laps is classified, as we saw recently with Trulli & Chandhok in Monaco, who were classfied despite crashing out before the end.

The only reason why they wouldn't be is if their car was deemed illegal, and they were DQed as a result, but that applies equally to ALL the classified finishers. (Although it would be interesting to see the stewards' reaction to a driver outright destroying his car on the slow-down lap to prevent it being scruitineered properly...)

I'm not sure they wouldn't be disqualified as their car cannot pass scruitineering.

I remember a race a few years ago when a car failed scruitineering but the next car outside the points which didn't pass control was awarded points. I think the FIA wont be happy if a car fails to make it back to the pits. They were also not happy when Mansell had to stop on track because fans blocked the way and wanted to disqualify him.

I think there could be problems.
