Red Bull Racing has reportedly made significant progress in its construction of a new wind tunnel. Technical director Pierre Wache told Motorsport.com that the progress is currently running three months ahead of schedule, and the new wind tunnel could be ready for use before the 2026 F1 season.
The Milton Keynes-based outfit faced alarming competition in the 2024 F1 season as it lost the constructors' championship to McLaren. Team principal Christian Horner highlighted the limitations with the car development facilities, including the outdated wind tunnel. He referred to it as 'a relic from the Cold War.'
In modern times, when car testing is limited to two days annually, F1 teams are heavily reliant on wind tunnels. Meanwhile, to tackle the problem, Red Bull has initiated the construction of a new wind tunnel at Milton Keynes after the company released funds for the same.
