I'm really curious about the simulators they use for testing, if you know anything about that aspect. It seems like a chicken-and-egg issue: you see how a new part affects the car on the track by using the simulator, but the sinulator has to use parameters/assumptions put in by the engineers about how the part works. Won't it always just validate their assumptions?
- fredoralive 3y agoYou do hear about teams struggling with correlation issues, where their simulations just aren’t matching reality. They do use some of the limited practice time F1 teams are allowed to do things like run the car with aero rakes (lots of pitot tubes on scaffold like structures) attached or the covered in dayglo flow-vis paint to gather real world data.
