Very cool, but yeah anyone with the competency and computing power to do actually decent F1 CFD wouldn't be posting it on the internet.

The teams themselves have a hard enough time getting a model to match their actual car.

Not entirely correct, here's an interesting YouTube channel by an ex-F1 aero engineer: https://www.youtube.com/user/Kyleengineers

You're correct insomuch as he's not sharing CFD settings, and is bound by what I assume is a pretty strict NDA, but he still has a ton of useful content. Of course, if you want his true opinion/skills on something specific, he'll do so for a price.

It's "Colourful Fluid Dynamics" for a reason.

"Colors For Directors", especially without the grid and turbulence modelling (RANS? DES? LES?) data.
