Red Bull expects new F1 wind tunnel to run early 2027

Red Bull Racing has shared an update on its long-awaited new wind tunnel facility at the Milton Keynes campus. Technical director Pierre Wache confirmed the team hopes the facility will be operational at the beginning of 2027.

The team continues to face challenges with its current wind tunnel during the 2026 Formula 1 season. Wache noted that upgrades introduced in Miami showed encouraging signs but added that the aging facility still limits development efforts. He stated, “We hope that we will have it running at the beginning of next year.”
