“Most of the lap time you can put on a car comes from aerodynamics during a season, but precisely what we find and in what area is still unknown,” the Briton said.

“Several of those programmes will not come to fruition, but that is just the nature of experimentation.
“But if you try hard enough over a wide enough range of experiments, then enough of them will come good in that time scale.
“And there should be a decent package to put on the car by the time we return to Europe,” Allison concluded.
