Zak Brown feels McLaren's new F1 wind tunnel will make the team more efficient amid some 'tough decions' regarding where to make investments under the cost cap:
commissioned a new wind tunnel, which after several delays was completed earlier this summer but is yet to be put into use. Until the new tunnel goes live, McLaren uses Toyota's tunnel in Cologne, and the logistics involved in sending parts off to Germany has impacted the team's speed in bringing development parts to its race cars.
The hardware overhaul was followed up by a significant spend on the personnel side to try and fight its way out of the midfield. While CEO Zak Brown admitted McLaren had to"make some tough decisions" elsewhere to fit all of its investments under F1's budget cap, he was adamant the team's new facilities will also make it more efficient in the long term.
"We weren't operating our own wind tunnel, we were renting a wind tunnel, so that comes at a higher cost than if you're just paying operational expenses for your own.
