Sounds like the new wind tunnel is in use now, but I am still a bit sceptical, if that’s really the case or just an assumption of this site.

The construction of the first new wind tunnel to be built in 20 years for F1 testing purposes was completed in the second half of last year. It was then passed onto Aston Martin to begin the commissioning phase, which has now been completed.

It means for the first time since the Silverstone-based marque was once known as Force India almost two decades ago, it is using its own development facility, rather than relying on the Mercedes wind tunnel at Brackley, nine miles away.

Interesting! Yeah it would be good if some other source confirmed it so we have more certainty. In theory from what was said previously, it was about to be finished around this time or a bit later.

If true, it's a great news and almost 1 month before the Bahrain tests

You'd think that they'd still use the Merc WT primarily. With duplicate tests on their own WT to compare for a time.

As I said I am still a bit sceptical, as there are no direct quotes of Krack that they use it now. The quotes of Krack are all about the future and not the presence. Naturally some AMR twitter fan accounts present it already as a fact, premature as often with no double check...

Reading a lot of articles about AMR in the winter break, you notice how often (especially click-bait sites) use quotes, which were already made at the season final in Abu Dhabi, presenting them as they were talking to the person just currently.

But February was obviously the target (Krack in Abu Dhabi: "in 2-3 months").

It is very quiet from the team, no statements on the car developments or the Wind Tunnel. So we can expect some surprises, Good or bad, fingers crossed.

Why not leverage Honda's HALO wind tunnel, which has been in commission for over 2 years and has been used for Indycar and WEC. It should be capable of providing correlation data of both WTs and possibly an avenue to not count toward aero time if Honda is comparing data of previous year cars.

If it's already difficult with two galleries, how do you think with three?
