Red Bull has changed plans for its new Formula 1 wind tunnel, after earmarking a slightly different location near its Milton Keynes factory.
The world champion squad had originally planned to build a brand new facility at its base, which it felt was needed to keep the team at the cutting edge of F1 car development over the long term. A site near its technology campus had been sorted and the team had formally applied for planning permission for construction to go ahead.
This wind tunnel had previously been used by the Arrows team, but was originally designed at the end of World War 2 as a facility for developing aircraft.
