Yeah, I don't agree with it but it's the sort of attitude any big corporation would take. I bet most teams now wouldn't allow their drivers to even go rallying for health and safety reasons, never mind in another manufacturers' car for contractual and exposure reasons (I'm guessing Kubica was in a Renault anyway? I don't know). It'll just take one incident like this and they'll step up the level of control.
