Formula1 cars are aerodynamically deisgned in order to reduce drag when they are racing. Every component of a formula1 car plays an important role in maintaining handling and increasing speed for the car. Due to the competitive nature of the sport and the importance of every split second each component of the car is tested to see how it increases air friction when on track. It is the air friction that can slow down the car and loose anything from split seconds to a few seconds for a driver throughout a lap. The recent introduction of a new aerodynamics package for Ferrari, has demonstrated the impact that this technology can have on the cars performance.
The basic reason is to avert the loss due to wind resistance. Almost 60% fuel on an average is lost if we drive a non-streamlined car @ 80Kmph. Moreover, due to streamlining a better mileage at higher speed is achieved. Hence, economy increases.

Part of a race car driver's job is to avoid hitting solid objects, because that would slow the car down (to put it lightly). But hitting air also slows a car down. A streamlined car essentially hits less air, so it can go faster.
To easily cut through the air. But actually they have a lot of wings to create downforce. Go and find out what it is on Google or wikipedia. Quite interesting!
To cut wind resistance and make them aerodynamic .
wind tunnels
To look sporty and appealing.
Friction.
yes
the way they were desinged by the builders
Their shape and aerodynamic efficiency makes them streamlined.
Most of it is done on fluid dynamic software and then models are made for wind testing.
The most common features in modern cars that help to reduce air friction is the streamlined design of the bumpers and spoilers. The streamlined shape of fast cars also helps to reduce drag.
Cars with good aerodynamics.
Cars are streamlined to allow them to move through the air with less drag. This increases fuel economy and performance. It also makes the car quieter inside.
aircrafts and fast cars are streamlined so that the air flows over them more easily
Ferrari
They have a streamlined bonnet so that the air will be pushed over the car.
Racing Cars was created in 1973.
