WRC Testing

Is it possible that teams are using him as a "test guy" for future hybrid tehnology. We know that in F1 is this kind of tech there for a while now. And maybe he could give some sort of tehnical advices. Because let's be honest why would almost all official teams give opportunity to a guy like him from completely different discipline. Just my thoughts.

Because Camilli can use “guest” test days. Østberg was their factory driver last year.

Maybe new ''Robert Kubica''?? With more luck in rally, because Robert was missing luck in rally....anyway, I'm always happy to hear that someone from F1 is interested in rally.

Wonder how they can (or if they can) legally enforce that. Probably only with self-censorship from the people filming.

Anyway I get that the main reason is others probably have to make some changes as well and we haven't seen their designs yet.

Also since it looks like they can make these changes without using jokers (there were no jokers for Germany by anyone) it's also an Opportunity to improve things that didn't work so well "for free".
