New location but no big delay for Red Bull F1 wind tunnel
The world champion squad had originally planned to build a new facility at its base but decided to shift the location of the wind tunnel due to ongoing developments in Milton Keynes. This change invalidated the previous planning permission, so new paperwork will be prepared for approval. Despite the process taking time, the team believes the change of location will not significantly delay the facility’s completion, likely to be used for the development of the 2026 car. Red Bull Racing has used an upgraded facility in Bedford as its official wind tunnel since its involvement in F1 in 2004. The decision to build a new wind tunnel was made by Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateshitz before his passing. The team is confident in their commitment to the future, investing in facilities and a technology campus to attract and develop talent, with a strong technical group and operational strength.
