It's not always a good idea to copy the set-up from the very best drivers... unless you have out of this world hand-eye coordination, an easy to drive car is always faster on average!

I was under the impression that we simply didn't need them anymore due to better geometry built into the more modern cars. Everybody ran a one way in their xx4 to give them better initial turn into the corner and made do with rear wheel braking, whereas with (for example) the B44 has far superior steering built in that a diff is faster due to later braking? That's how I see it, anyway!
