Perhaps Gremlins from the car have got into their website?
(Our work machines have blocked BMR's site due to Malware being present - be warned if people are looking at browsing there).

There seem to be a few mixed messages though (but then you'd expect a bit of 'spin' from a driver).
The BMR twitter reports that the team have had to do a lot of work over the last couple of weeks, but Plato initially claimed they had been relaxed over winter and had removed some weight which made them lighter and faster.
The line now is that they have a lot of numbers to crunch to understand what is happening. If the changes were only introduced to the team on Wednesday, you would expect the message would be more like the last few days, rather than a couple of weeks.
