The design of the car is far from in isolation. It's naive to assume the constructors don't put massive effort into making their cars hard to follow and hard to pass. Creating a wake and dirty air, as well as operating in dirty air, is prime aero development. It's a big part of the reason Merc struggle so much, as they spent years honing their cars to run at the front with the enormous engine advantage they had and they can't cope with other cars around them.
