Haha yeah I saw that. But its last tweet was 3/15, maybe it needed a transplant and didn't make it?
If they truly do have a precise understanding of the issue after the AUS GP (as they claim) there's certainly a chance some fix/workaround is in place that will allow them to improve, maybe even significantly. But don't forget Malaysia is extemely hot so fix or no fix that's working directly against their heat management issue.

I doubt the problems can be fixed simply - ie change seal material or design. And anything more substantial will meam a modification to the engine - so Button and Alonso will have to use their 2nd engine
At least I read something like that at autosport forums

No doubt it's a tough fix , I hope it didn't seem like I suggested that. But also don't forget they've got a whole herd of engineers, CAD people, and machinists at their disposal to turn things around quickly. I suspect we're going to see a fix implemented in phases that eventually get them running at 100%. Since it's not hard to make the argument they are for reliablity they should be able to make the necessary changes freely.
It's was still tweeting two weeks ago anyways… “That wasn't the plan. I still have so much to give.”
Would they have been able to make any incremental improvements in the past two weeks?
