OK, so just how much does the air compress around a car at 70MPH?

depends. Maybe a few PSI.
Ask McLaren.
Or an aircraft designer. Enough to create a pressure difference big
enough to keep a plane up.
Planes have wings specifically designed to produce lift. Only the most
stupid card designer would use the same effect.
I am beginning to wonder about you Dave.

You aren't Drivel under a new name are you?

All of formula 1 is about aerodynamics - using air pressure to produce lift downwards..

No it's not. Why not stick to subjects that you know about? The silence
would be refreshing.

Formula 1 balances many requirements of which aerodynamic performance is
one component and downforce is one element of that component.
