Red Bull had them well and trult beaten at Silverstone, so they've been tinkering in the workshop with some new mods, as well as taking the car back to how it was set up in Turkey

I can read it too - directly quote below.

Afer the championship leaders were unable to fend off the Red Bull's at Silverstone, the Brawn GP squad are firing back at the Nurburging with multiple updates to their already impressive machine. Rubens Barrichello and Jenson Button will hopefully have better luck at warming up their tyres at the German circuit, as to fully benefit from the updates to their chassis this time around.
"With the confusion over the tyres, we didn't run some new pieces we had because Friday (at Silverstone) was very difficult with the tyre temperature. We couldn't determine how the new bits were working," team principal Ross Brawn explained to the 'Telegraph'.

"So we decided to avoid confusion and went back to what we had in Turkey. So we've got those bits and we have some new improvements for the Nurburgring."

It looks like it tries auto refreshing and then it asks you to login. If I click back and then press the stop button quickly it seems to work. How odd.

Anyway lets hope it works, it sounds like Ross Brawn is having a few issues in his garage at the moment...
