No but... legality doesn't really matter during a test unless it's safety related.

Official confirmation - today's test will continue until 8pm tonight. That gives the teams just over four more hours of running today.

But why testing stuff you can´t use on race day? For me this is a waste of time.
I thik I will check the rulebook if there´s a loophole somewhere.

Think he finds the testing quite a chore. Overall it shouldn't affect anything, I mean Rosberg managed a lot more mileage in pre-season testing last year, but Hamilton still emerged champion. As long as he negotiates to go back to that old clutch pedal then he's ready for Silverstone.

If your wind tunnel or CFD says that your airflow is wrong in this particular point, you can use the illegal piece to fix the flow directly and see what sort of real life improvement is likely to be there. Then, if the benefit is large, you can think of how to fix it indirectly in a legal way with a little vortex generator 1 meter upstream which is likely to mess something else up. But you only go there after you have measured that the benefits are real, and this little illegal part helps with that.
Rivals, not enemies.

Indeed, Hamilton doesn't like testing and has no problem with it to share his car with Wehrlein.
