@previous reply: 412 T2's downforce is higher than 14T. Despite the technology being massively more advanced, the rules have become much tighter with regards to aerodynamic devices and the wings have to be substantially narrower for 2014 as compared to 1994/1995. Older cars had higher top end speeds (2014 cars only have 1.5L(!) turbo's with ERS for hybrid power /and/ these engines have to last several races on average, whereas engines didn't have to last more than the race historically - /and/ you could have qualifying only engines even back in the day) and higher downforce. Hybrid systems mean improved acceleration (e.g. no moving parts for electrical power-peak power available immediately you put your foot down while the mechanical engine & turbos spool up) and modern era braking is just insane.
