Would Merc need to test their car at higher engine mode during FP1 to see how it effects ride height?
No, The engine modes aren't going to effect the ride height settings much at all, as the turns you need to care about are high speed turns, and not overly acceleration dependent.
Turns 9, 11, and 17, will determine at what speed they can collapse the rear and stall the diffuser, as those are the turns with the highest exit speeds (240-260 kmh range). Thus worst case, all you would do is, crank it up as high as it would go for those turns to see what the maximum exit speed is, and the rest is derivation.
