2021 car comparison thread

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Don't forget there is a second element lower down the rear wing (just outside of view on this picture), so a direct comparison is impossible. Today (2009 and later) this element is forbidden.

Interesting picture! The opposite of the RB spoon wing; maybe points to how the airflow is different over that era of car or could be for structural reasons.
