 These days, everything on an F1 car is just better than it was 25-30 years ago. The aero is better, even though the wings etc are smaller. The tyres are better, even though the tyres are smaller. The brakes are better, even though the brakes are smaller. The engines don't need to produce 1000-1500 bhp in order to blow away the turbo cars of yesteryear. That's progress! The 80's car were great to watch because they had more power than grip (aero and mechanical), and things like the brakes and suspension weren't as good. The drivers also had a manual gear change etc. The trouble is that you can't 'unlearn' aero and mechanical grip etc, but Pirelli are having a go at it!

Well, they make the cars go faster. In motorsports, that is the definition of better.
