   It seems Mclaren have a BIG update coming. Using the first two days to allow JB and LH to test the new front wing. Then using the third day to do lots of work on the car to get it into its newd specification then allowing JB and LH to run that. Its the only reason I can see them to do what they are doig.

      Ont sure it’s a big update, but it seems like there should be at least something new on the car on Friday.

         I would expect it to be larger rather than a minor update, as they want both drivers to run it and take the day to swop to it. I would expect the front wing to remain, possibly mod to rear wing and then final exhuast configuration as well as minor tweaks to internals and sidepods/ engine cover

            Yeah, it’s probably larger than minor, and it may well be a big update considering their earlier issues. But I think it’s also a possibility they are saving the big one for Melbourne, and just try to get as many parts of it as possible to the test before Friday.

   just something i noticed.. when the Live system pauses (due to inactivity), there’s no way to un-pause it without refreshing the whole page

      The live system should not pause due to inactivity, what happens is when you hover your mouse over the comments section it will pause temporarily until you move your mouse away from the area. This gives you the chance to type a reply without the text box being shoved down the page and possibly out of view while you are typing. Could you check this again for me Steve and let me know if that is in fact what is happening?

   Keith, I’ve got some compatibility problems with the live app. The ‘live comments’ section just doesn’t show up in my Firefox 3.6.15. It’s hidden under the ‘Page layout’ bar while the twitter feed is working well. The app works great on my Chrome although sometimes the hyperlinks in tweets overlap the live comments.

   Nice work Jamie and Keith. I look forward to using this in the real races.
