Also interesting to track over time is the tire regs: width, grooves, now intentionally excessive decay to force pit stops with standardized tires (and even now rules about where you can run the tires, since some people ran them "out of (intended) position" to benefit in *I think* 2013 season. Early 2000's were /generally/ the "fastest" cars, but extreme aero downforce can massively increase risk when traction is lost. I do quite enjoy the "more power than grip" style recently introduced, with hybrid engines with massive acceleration, wing width & diffuser restrictions and narrower tires reducing grip, even if I don't like how quiet the engines have become compared to years past. These changes have required significant adjustments to driving style, and the difficulty of getting "feel" right with a brake-by-wire system than has to engage to energy recovery at the "right" times has left people with a much more unstable car than the late 2000's/early 2010's (and /much/ more unstable than e.g. Williams early 90's with their mostly-computer-driven cars).
