I never knew they actually turned the car while in the wind tunnel!

I believe BMW have one of the best wind tunnels, which I suppose is showing with there performance on track!

I correct you BMW_dude, they don't have one of the best but by far the best wind tunnel among all 11 F1 teams and this allow them to not build a second one unlike the others.

Oh right, I always new it was really good, but assumed Mclaren or Ferrari would have better ones!

I hope BMW can get the best people possible on board to make best use of the wind tunnel!
