The "real" development of the cars is done through CFD simulations and Wind Tunnel sessions.
These are controlled by the FIA. It was the same for the 2022 cars as the development could only start in January 2021.

Bit off topic, but you can always hire externals to do some work ahead, in a convoluted and off-the-record manner. It's not all black and white
If you employ an 'exert' you do not have to justify how they became an expert or who covered the cost of their knowledge.
Having done development by using all the officially available tools like Wind Tunnel and CFD, things still doesn't correlate and teams find problems on track. One can only guess how dependable things would be when work done without the CFD and wind tunnel. Minor design mistakes can have serious consequences like Mercedes found out when they learnt they had a wrong wind tunnel configuration.
not sure he is to blame here personally. This was just after the of the session, and the timing (incorrectly) showed Hadjar as pitting. So the team probably assumed there was no one to come from behind anymore
Not sure if this is good or bad since we know RBR did compromised their R18 development for 2021 WDC and yet they came up quickest in 2022..Xyz22 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2023 12:15 pmGood news. The 3rd point won't allow RB to start developing the 2026 car earlier than the others.organic wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2023 11:56 amhttps://twitter.com/ChrisMedlandF1/stat ... 3765083292F1 Commission Meeting headlines:

No, but you can always pay via another company in your group.
Of course. You can't do actual car development, but you can find ways to outsource the conceptual work ahead of time. It would be easier for bigger teams, naturally. Let's not forget, RB developed the AM Valkyrie with Newey and they have a great time with that experience. Nothing illegal in it, it was done before it was announced floors will feature channels again, but the benefit is clearly long-lasting.mendis wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2023 1:22 pmHaving done development by using all the officially available tools like Wind Tunnel and CFD, things still doesn't correlate and teams find problems on track.
