Yes, Virginia, you can still be DQed (with a Red Card) without being Yellow first. Any rule which may be punished by DQ is an automatic Red Card (G12, G20 intent, G35 intent, G40 intent, G50)
This isn't changing the rules, really, but just setting down a solid enforcement technique. In previous years, a team could be warned against aggressive behavior multiple times because they were "just under" DQ-grade behavior. This is a "red flag" (or yellow, rather) to the refs to keep their eyes out for bad behavior from teams that are toeing the line of G.P. driving.
