If you’ve ever wondered what an F1 wind tunnel model looks like, then these photos are for you! 👀 Thanks to Scarbs for sharing and Maximiliano Lotto for the original photos! 👍 #f1 #f1tech #aerodynamics #windtunnel
It's the summer shutdown for #F1. No wind tunnel testing, so here's a sneak peak at an older @WilliamsRacing model. Note the adaptability and complexity! Seen at FOS Goodwood by Maximiliano Lotto #F1Tech

🆕 New Blog Post! 🆕 The RB21’s new front suspension is “exceptional” - literally! In this post I explore how teams take advantage of ‘minimal exceptions’ in the regulations to eke out every count of downforce. 📖 Read it here: tameaero.wordpress.com/2025/… #f1 #aerodynamics

We've got an aero analysis of the 2026 cars to read! My mate @JackChilvers with a banger of an analysis on the new 2026 car aero. Here he is supported by bramble CFD and uses a computational analysis to assess some of the elements of this new regulation set. I will comment in this thread below with some of the interesting elements that I pulled out of the analysis!! 👇 raceteq.com/articles/2025/06…
