In 1968 Colin Chapman debuted his Lotus 49B, which featured a tall wing much like that of Can Am cars at the time. The wing was eventually banned, but eventually led to the use of wings on all F1 cars.

The first wing, at least as they're used in modern F-1 cars, was used by Ferrari, which attached a small airfoil to the rear of the car just aft of the roll hoop in the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix

Jack Brabham drove a 2-litre streamlined Cooper in the 1955 British GP (Bristol engine) with the engine in the rear.

The Bugatti in 1956 French GP was rear engined.

Lotus first entered rear engined cars in 1960, BRM also.

Ferrari went to rear engined F1 cars in 1961.

What is down force and why is it important in f1 vehicle?

Downforce occurs when air flowing over something pushes it into the ground. An F1 car is very light so it is fast in a straight line and can be thrown into the corners but because it is so light the car will have very little grip in the corners. Downforce adds to the weight of the car with the force of air pushing it down. The new DRS (drag reduction system) on the cars stops downforce - which causes drag - in the long straights. When a front wing or another part of an F1 car that makes downforce comes off the car has less grip and this often leads to crashes. Overall, downforce is essential to keeping an F1 car on the track
