Car aerodynamic pressures develop forces that act at right angles to the panel. You can then use the 'triangle of forces' to work out the magnitude of the drag/thrust and lift/downforce.
To understand its significance, the force is then multiplied by the area over which that pressure is acting.
I've done lots of videos.
