Ultimately, I think this is a step in the wrong direction for F1
from a safety point of view. F1 has made HUGE strides in safety
since the death of Ayrton Senna. So much so that Robert Kubica hit a
wall almost head-on at 180MPH and walked away from it in 2007.
(Google the video it's pretty amazing). <br>

If they eliminate wind tunnel testing altogether, it's just a matter
of time until a bug in a CFD code allows an silly engineering error
to lead to a catastrophic accident on the track, something at a wind
tunnel test would catch. Wind tunnel testing is much more foolproof
(humanproof?) than code.<br>

<div>i don;t see it myself - wind tunnels are an important part
of the aero engineers toolbox, and they don't run them for
fun.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are interesting comments regarding an energy cap
though,</div>
<div>which could be interesting for us in the HPC industry.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am looking at slurm scheduling at the moment - for the
plugin which allows you to select the performance governor on
a per-job basis.</div>
<div>Could be interesting :</div>
