I suppose the danger is if someone is having a poor flying lap e.g a rough 1st sector, it could be in their interestd to abort it and go to the back for an engine update.
Whether anyone would be thinking that clearly is doubtful.

I don't think its doubtful HJ, and it would appear that its not against any FIA ruling so i'm sure it's something the team principles think about the possibility of alot.
If a car is struggling in qualifying in relation to their direct opposition, then they would proberbly profit by changing engines and starting from the back. All depends of course on the circuit they are racing at. Monaco is a no, no, but Monza or Indy might be a good place to try it.
