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. Řstberg was their factory driver last year.

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".
btw, the new cars will use R5 engines. where current R5s get their engine? from the production base car and then they tune the engines for racing? what new engines the current Polos (privateers) are...
