I can't see Ferrari being happy to have their lead driver in a opposing teams debrief when all they will gain is negative publicity over how far behind they are! Rubbing their noses in it so to speak.

But if it gives the opportunity to learn about the strongest team on the grid you'd be stupid not to!

It will be interesting to see if Vettel goes. I bet Ferrari are too proud to allow it!

And, let's face it, Mercedes aren't going to share anything useful

Lots of opportunity for obfuscation and misinformation! They could have a real laugh. Which is partly why I doubt Vettel will go; the potential for Ferrari to be humiliated is high!

"Guys, you'll never guess they're doing next race. Apparently they've discovered that running on just 3 wheels will gain them another few tenths! I think we should follow suit!"

Nah, we tried that with Kimi in Melbourne...

I remember talking to a particularly successful Alfa racer. He used to do things to his car just for the fun of seeing other people copy him thinking that was the key to his results.

Going back to the Red Bull / Renault thing, the Judge13 site is saying that RBR twisted Renault's arm into allowing them to use a development engine in Melbourne that hadn't been sufficiently tested. The result was Ricciardo having to change the unit and potentially have to complete the remaining 19 races with just 3. Awks!

So now no German GP! That will upset Rosberg & Vettel big time I would think along with Mercedes. Maybe time for a European GP to make up the races back to 20 but where to hold it ?

You'll know the story of the Gurney Flap? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurney_flap

Hulkenberg seems to be the most saddened of the German drivers; from what I've heard, the teams don't like having more than 19 races per year, with 20 only possible by agreement. I imagine Bernie knew perfectly well that there would be no Korean or German race this year.
