I believe in the same case too. However, as Newey pointed out both are complimentary. What we don't know is that how many percentage of knowledge is gone without the usage of wind tunnel. I don't have any technical experience in aerodynamics at all. Hence my quotation of the expert in the business. But I agree with you on the subject that CFD now is far more advanced than what it used to be 10 years ago. Btw thanks for the comments. Claudio, thanks for the interesting insights.

My experience is in a different type of Formula1, the one of sailboats instead of cars, the America's Cup. The company I work for, Applied Fluid Technologies, Inc., was in charge of the aerodynamic development of the BMW Oracle Racing trimaran, the boat that won the last America's Cup. I can tell you that computational fluid dynamic, that only ten years ago played a marginal role in the development of the boats, is now the main tool because it is believed to have many less uncertainties, much cheaper and much more flexible than wind tunnel testing. Cheers. Fun article to read, and I hope I can offer my view on the CFD vs. wind tunnel debate.
