Suspension is double wishbone front and rear, with push rod operated springs and dampers on the chassis. – one exception being that of the 2009 specification Red Bull Racing car which used pull rod suspension at the rear, the first car to do so since the Minardi in 2001. read more

Well its not true that F1 teams prefer push-rod suspensions only. For e.g. almost all F1 cars in the past few years have been using pull-rod suspensions at the rear.
