After several years of F1 on tv, from FP1 through to the last interviews it's evident that these new cars are flat out wide open where you think they might have to lift. The older F1s' with their exaggerated, variable downforce effect is less realistic IMO. Where does low speed grip come from then? F1 cars have crushing amounts of aero. Aero downforce (and drag) go up by the square of speed, and since the rules don't allow active aerodynamics, so the slow speed grip is going to be predominantly mechanical and considerably less than what you get at speed.

I agree with the others that these are a bit arcadey... the twitchy older F1s are probably more accurate.
