Whether it's McLaren investing significant money in an overhaul or Aston Martin's brand new facility - said to be one of the key factors in attracting Adrian Newey - the evidence is there that the windtunnel remains an essential tool in a Formula 1 team's development arsenal.

On this episode of The Race F1 Tech Show, host Edd Straw and former F1 technical director Gary Anderson explain why windtunnels are so important and what it is about the current ruleset that's forcing teams to invest so heavily in them.

There's also talk about what Newey will bring to Aston Martin when he joins in 2025, plus our regular Q&A section - in which Gary answers questions from listeners on windshields, sensor technology and, in really niche territory, the Jordan 199's fuel injectors.
