Maybe that’s exactly what will push them that little bit they need… you never know… plus, it cannot be a good and efficient process and workflow in their design and test department if they have to work only over weekends in someone elses windtunnel… basically, they have a handicap in this regard…
It's, absolutely, knowledge and how the design is approached.
Look at McL, still the development has ultimately come from their Cologne wind tunnel usage, not yet from the new facility.
The capability to leverage what you've got is fundamental, and would likely be amplified with dedicated facility .... not the excuse its often used for.
Its just too easy to "blame" something for poor performance, rather than really appreciate it's the thinking.
Good ideas cost exactly the same in gestation as poor one's
This 2024 AMR chassis does give the projection of a good platform though, pulled back from the hole they entered last year in development. This in itself showing they understand why that misstep took them away from target.
Ideas, design, application etc all get more brutall analysis when running at the front though, literally nowhere to hide.
Looks promising for some good front end battles in this years car.
