Didnt overheating the rear tyre contribute to Button's puncture?
Well either they have no updates---and thats bad.
Or they do have updates and are down playing it because they wont let Lewis test them.
Scarbs has tweeted that there is a rumor that McLaren has a "mechanic" adjustable rear brake duct (body part) that adjusts the air flow to the tire. By adjusting the very hot air from the brakes to the tire you can effect how fast/slow the tire will heat. Movable body parts anyone?

I have a feeling that McLaren not running their main drivers for this test will impact their season in a bad way.
It goes against the grain and that can have disastrous consequences.
It may seem small and insignificant now, but I have a feeling that a major "what if?" this year will be McLaren's Mugello test and their subsequent lack of upgrades at Barcelona.
They have no major parts to test. Sounds odd.
You may disagree with me but I think it'll be one of those things we talk about in December if McLaren don't win it all this year.
Just a mark my words post is all.
