Hah, I'd say yes, simply because the tracks' surface are generally MUCH better today than they were in the 90s! They were bumpy as all hell, and they just didn't care. I guess the attention to track quality was one of the many safety things sparked by Senna's death.

Fun Fact: Despite how famously large modern F1 cars are, they're actually narrower than the 1992 cars, as modern F1 cars are 2 meters wide, while 1992 cars were about 2.2 meters wide. What makes modern F1 cars so big is their length, not their width, they have a perfectly fine width.

In reality, lap records from 1992 were broken by 1997 cars, and then the laptimes became faster and faster from 2001-2005. Also, the 2000 car was likely faster in a straight line due to being narrower, so less drag.

If you look at the qualifying times in 1992 and 2000 you would find these cars are quite closely matched, but the FW14B is probably a bit quicker. The FW15C is usually considered the most advanced F1 car of all time though. In terms of the fastest F1 cars ever that would be the 2004/05 cars and the 2019-21 cars. The 04/05 cars are most impressive because they ran on grooved tyres. If they had slicks they would surely have been even faster.

Spa changed the layout in 1992. The bus stop chicane got slower for '92 and '93 then reverted back for '95 then went BACK again to the 92 and 93 layout in 2004 then changed AGAIN in 2007 and it's what we have now This explains all the time differences and i reckon the 92 car would beat the 89 and 90 pole laps let alone one from 93 or onwards on the same track version. But it's just my take What do you think? :D

2000s was the 12laps qualifying era all the cars had no fuel on them The biggest reason why the 2000 car was slower beyond the assists were the groove tires which were also smaller compared to 1992 and the smaller car dimensions leading to reduced downforce (so even thought they had more downforce technically it would have been less compared to if they were the same size as the 1992 cars)

The '92 Williams F1 car was the most advanced F1 car OF ITS DAYS, but definitely NOT the most advanced F1 car OF ALL TIME. You could say that it was the most "electronically assisted" F1 car of all time, though even that claim might not be completely right, as its traction control and ABS systems were incredibly rudimentary compared to similar devices which were developed and employed by F1 teams between 2001 and 2007. Technology-wise, any V10 F1 car from the mid-2000s was a spaceship compared to the FW14B and would utterly destroy the older Williams at any track, despite their lack of active suspension systems. This is still true even if we bring into the mix modern F1 cars. Were one to compare the overall amount of technology involved in the development and production of present-day F1 cars, and the insane engineering these cars are infused with, to those of any F1 car from early and mid '90s, the latter would pale in comparison. Even though current-gen cars have no active suspension, TC or ABS, they are much, much faster, much more reliable, much more predictable and easier to drive. So, although the FW14B is often hailed as "the most advanced F1 car of all time", this is just a myth, if you ask me. A cool one, though, as I myself am a huge fan of that car indeed!

Nice video, but I doubt this is realistic of the cars' performances. Starting with the engine, the Ferrari Tipo 049 had 815 bhp (according to stats F1), while the Renault RS4 only produced 750 bhp and was also 37 kg heavier than the Ferrari (same source). Pre-'98 cars were also wider, which produced more drag, however the active suspension on the Williams might cover some of that deficit. Regarding the tyres, in '92 they still used qualifying tyres which lasted just for one or two flying laps and had a lot of grip. So, comparing the qualifying times is a bit problematic. It seems to me the physics are a little off here. The Ferrari should be faster in a straight line, while the Williams should be faster through many of the corners.
