It's wrong to blame CFD, any method of car design is only as good as the parameters it is given by the humans operating it.

Either the engine wasn't as efficient as Virgin thought, or the car is more draggy, or someone cocked up.

It'll be ironic if they actually have the reliability to complete a race in Australia or Malaysia - will they opt to run lean (and dead slow?) or to retire with an empty tank?

Or just stop and tank up. They are allowed to fuel up in the garage. It'll loose em two laps but slightly less frustrating that rolling to a halt Jean Alesi style.
