That is a 2013 Ferrari.

i didn't see them polish the windshield in 2013!

Did they gas it up at all in the 2013 clip?

Refueling is not allowed any more. They have to carry the fuel for the entire race now.

1950s : 3 Guys -- 67 Seconds refueling and fronttires
2013: 20 Guys aprox 4 Seconds fronttires

1950s dudes are not that bad at all just 3 times slower but they are refueling and cleaning the car and you get a drink too

Actually, the 2013 guys did all four tires.

I notice that four of them do almost nothing. Two jackmen, and two balancers.

ok, someone help me... 1950's dude with the hammer pounding on the ?? to get the front tires changed. What's the deal? Is it just a big spud nut in the center or what?

Yeah, it's a lead hammer for the "knockoff spinners" (google it.)

In 1950s they did more. Not only also refueled, but cleaned the windshield, gave the driver a pep talk and a drink, and checked the oil.

Lazy sobs...

Also somewhat interesting because it's weird: The 1950's clip is from the Indianapolis 500. It's only tangentially related to Formula 1. At least during some part of the history of the race, Formula 1 championship points were awarded for the Indy 500, probably because many of the F1 drivers competed in the race. Slightly more interesting would have been seeing a pit stop of an actual F1 race from 1950 since they would have had a different governing body and probably different rules.

Geez, I had to re-watch the 2013 bit like 20 times to see everything going on. Insane.

Would be difficult to swing that because F1 didn't have the type of organized pit stops we see today until much much later. Refueling during a race was first done in a properly calculated way in 1982 by Brabham, before that they only did it in emergency situations (barring Fangio's German Grand Prix win in 1957, where he just decided to do it mid race, but would probably have won even without it). It was again outlawed by 1984, and came back in 1994, then went away in 2010 again, so the only times in history that proper pit stops with fueling etc. have been in common use in F1 are between 1982-1984 and 1994-2009. Likewise stopping for new tyres pretty much came in with the fuel stops in 1982, because naturally they realized they could run softer tyre compounds if they only had to last half a race.

In the 50s, 60s and 70s you'd basically only see the F1 drivers pitting in if there were problems with the car, for the most part they really really wanted to avoid coming into the pits if at all possible. Exception being races like the Indy 500 which was simply too long to complete in one go.
