I too remember reading that, after speaking to Adrian Newey in Montreal, the AMG team added dive planes or similar to the front of the car, but that Dumbreck nosed another car prior to his accident and these were broken off or rendered useless.

As I recall, Mercedes had pledged four cars for an invitational race at the Norisring in July 1999 - shame it never happened.
