    Theoretically speaking a lot, but there have been examples of teams not using it wisely.

    Well apparently a lot of their 2007 problems were due to wind tunnel/CFD analysis problems, but they think they have got on top of them now, so it may provide a better way to link the CFD to the car model potentially..

    Depends on whether they use French or English wind!
