We will talk anyway, but I was not talking about a successful or unsuccessful update, just that they used 2 different tunnels in the last few months, so noone here knows how many tunnel hours (from the new tunnel) went into new parts for the AMR25 for Imola.
From a logical point of view they use nearly all time for the AMR26, as they only put it into the tunnel in March (delay compared to others) and there's nothing to win with the current car.
My understanding from this ....
"Team Principal Cowell confirmed that the wind tunnel has been in use since mid-March and is taking on both 2025 and 2026 aerodynamic development, with the first fruits of that labour due to hit the track soon.
“We’ve transitioned to this tunnel, and there’s hardware coming through that we’ll see at the circuit in the coming races,” Cowell explained at the recent Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, with Aston Martin previously using engine supplier Mercedes’ wind tunnel."
was this upgrade is all NWT. Mid March to Mid May is a long time.
Mid march Would just be the first race of the season. The regulations also allow to move WT time around cause of the NWT. So they might not have used any WT time on the OWT, waiting instead for the NWT.
