My understanding from this ....-wkst- wrote: ↑13 May 2025, 13:05We will talk anyway, but I was not talking about a successful or unsuccessful update, just that they used 2 different tunnels in the last few months, so noone here knows how many tunnel hours (from the new tunnel) went into new parts for the AMR25 for Imola.
From a logical point of view they use nearly all time for the AMR26, as they only put it into the tunnel in March (delay compared to others) and there's nothing to win with the current car.
OK, I couldn't resist trying out the Ai.lonso reader. Too funny!abhi1200 wrote: ↑13 May 2025, 20:58Read the whole interview of Adrain Newey for his new team.

Newey said that only a small team is working on the aerodynamics for this car. People really need to let this year go.KimiRai wrote: ↑14 May 2025, 03:35Monaco parts apparently will be circuit specific and Barcelona is that forced by the reg change. So it could be only Imola as far as performance updates are concerned.
Some are pessimistic about the Imola updates already as Fernando himself is advising caution. A floor was mentioned but apparently it might not be much of a gain.
Every team at the Top is bringing rear brake update to Spain including Aston Martin. But yeah. New Floor for Imola and well that's about it. Testing in Zandvoort was done in AMR23 for Jak Crawford. Likely to check wind tunnel correlation and gather data for crosswind and high wind turbulence effects. Newer wind tunnels can be used to analyze there so when they run a part, they can check if it's too sensitive and work on it. But They need data for that so Zandvoort i guess.KimiRai wrote: ↑14 May 2025, 03:35Monaco parts apparently will be circuit specific and Barcelona is that forced by the reg change.

Hopefully those "lunchtime conversations" can produce some pace, but it seems like he doesn't want to waste time on this years car."Do you have any involvement with the AMR25?
"Lawrence understandably wants us to do as well as we can in 2025 so there's a small team still working on this year's car from an aerodynamics point of view. I've had a few lunchtime conversations with that small group, discussing the car and what we can do about it.""
It is not a long time as updates need to be signed off and produced. That's not a process of just some days. At least a month is realistic.diffuser wrote: ↑13 May 2025, 19:13was this upgrade is all NWT.

Mid march Would just be the first race of the season. The regulations also allow to move WT time around cause of the NWT. So they might not have used any WT time on the OWT, waiting instead for the NWT.
It's not like they're gonna be making changes to any other part of the car.TyreSlip wrote: ↑14 May 2025, 04:58Newey said that only a small team is working on the aerodynamics for this car.
