Well, according to standard procedure and protocol no but still it depends on time to time and their own privacy policies.

F1 teams are quite complex organisations.First there is the race team which runs the cars at a GP which includes :Mechanics who look after the cars. Each driver has their own team of mechanics responsible for their car who are responsible for the physical set-up and any parts changes or repairs which become necessary. The pit crew is drawn from these mechanics usually with equal numbers form each side of the garage. about half will be involved in a standard tyre stop with extras on standby as replacements or to do additional jobs like changing nose assemblies or cleaning out radiators etc when required.Engineers : these are largely responsible for analysing data obtained over a race weekend and will work with drivers to make decisions on car set-up.Engine : if the team has a customer engine they may have advisers from the engine supplier as part of the engine deal.Race engineers : each driver has an engineer responsible for the technical side of their car, this is the person who talks to the driver throughout the race and advises on strategy (unless overruled by the management).Management : Team principals and senior management from the parent company as well as senior designers generally attend race meetings.Support : F1 teams have a whole raft of supporting departments dealing with logistics, PR, catering and hospitality, IT and communications as well as individual specialists like meteorologists, technical advisers from suppliers and the driver’s personal trainers.A quick browse of various teams photos from races leads me to suspect that an F1 race team is about 60–75 people of which probably about 40–50 are technical, engineering or operations.Even for well financed teams getting a large number of personnel to a GP and accommodating them, especially outside Europe is expensive, so they will try to keep numbers to a minimum and they will tend to bring more support staff to European GP than the far-flung ones. Equally non-technical staff will often have several jobs, for example the driver’s trainer is usually responsible for managing the pit-boards.Teams will also have a large number of staff at their factories including designers, engineers and technicians. all F1 teams are required to design and manufacture a certain proportion of the cars themselves and the big teams have extensive research and development facilities, especially on the aerodynamic side. It tends to be resources in development and manufacturing which sets the big teams apart form the smaller ones as F1 is essentially a race to improves the cars throughout the season as well as working on next season’s car. The time taken from design and analysis of a part to getting it made and on the car is absolutely critical.Equally IT systems are hugely important, modern cars generate a huge amount of data and this needs to be analysed and interpreted as quickly as possible and then translated into an engineering design . There will also be a large number of individual engineering specialists working in parallel so they need to be able to share information quickly and effectively.Also F1 teams are businesses and so as well as the operations, finance and administration related directly to racing they will have various other business activities going on in parallel.Engine design and manufacture tends to be more or less a separate entity, obviously in the case of works teams they will work pretty closely with the race team but less so with customer teams.To give some idea this is a photo released by Mercedes which is presumably a fair chunk of whole the F1 teamand this one is the race team.
