Active aero is banned in F1, but they do allow drag reduction systems now.
Also a lot of tracks have many highspeed corners and the tires have a grip coefficient significantly greater than 1,0 so downforce is what they use a lot.

They also kind of circumvented the active aero rule with the now obsolete "F-duct"
