Hypothetically, you want to design a car and try out different geometries. Instead of building a full size car, you build a quarter size model. Test that in the wind tunnel. Providing the geometries don't change, scale it up. One of the reasons for dimensionless parameters is to allow scaling. It's done all the time with aircraft and boats.Model what?
Do I have to provide authorities on modeling and scaling?
I'm guessing F1 doesn't do this.
