- rurban 3y agoWell, I thought everybody knew already that Red Bull's success is mostly because of their best CFD model. When I worked in F1 (~15 years ago) we worked on ML models for the best pistons layout and such, but already on simulated windtunnels also. Very old tech, shaping F1 a decade ago. (in fact when Redbull surpassed Mercedes) Nowadays we started using CFD in mundane and much cheaper things such as ship building, wind turbines, articificial surfing waves and building efficient greenhouses.
