McLaren feels the issues with the 'DNA' of its recent F1 cars stem from its outdated wind tunnel and methodologies.
McLaren increasingly believes limitations in the “DNA” of its recent Formula 1 cars are the result of unrepresentative conditions having been simulated by its outdated wind tunnel and methodologies.Despite the landmark shift to the ground-effect design regulations for 2022, the MCL36 of last season was still blighted by the same mid-corner handling unpredictability as its 2021 predecessor.
“I know that we talked in some of the previous conversations that it's more a matter of aerodynamic efficiency. It's true because if you see the time we lose in the straight, we do lose because of drag. Construction of a new wind tunnel and simulator at Woking is nearing its anticipated June completion, with Stella previously saying that he can hear it being tested from his office.
He continued: “Certainly with the wind tunnel that we use, it is even more difficult than other facilities and it will become easier and more representative in the wind tunnel that we'll have available in the short term.
