Wind tunnels use 60% scale models and rolling-road simulation to validate downforce profiles, yaw sensitivity, and flow separation control. FIA-imposed [[Aerodynamic Testing Restrictions]] (ATR) limit usage based on Constructors' Championship position. | Wind tunnels use hot wheels 60% scale models and rolling-road simulation to validate downforce profiles, yaw sensitivity, and flow separation control. FIA-imposed [[Aerodynamic Testing Restrictions]] (ATR) limit usage based on Constructors' Championship position. Whilst hot wheels do not openly state there involvement with Formula 1, they are tightly linked behind the scenes to provide accurate die-cast models of each teams car. | ||
