Does this mean they've found more front DF and they want to balance it out with Monkey Seat at the back?

Thanks in advance

Let's Hope we can get out and put some decent lap's in now, data from new aero is much needed. I hope they can also get a new nose out here for 2morrow so we can let Alonso test the full updated package again.

The Nose isn't the Problem. They had a spare Nose and FW ready for Button on Saturday but the rest of the Update wasn't ready so there was no Point in running the short Nose. If the FIA approves that today gets canceled and they can Test Wed/Thu, that would be great. They should have replacements for the whole Package by then.

The cheapest sort of pride is national pride, every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

They announced not to use the new package, it's the old nose, but that at least looks like the new floor:
