Your F1 picture brings up a whole host of new questions Ivan LOL

All along we've been talking about PSI, but F1 cars are incredibly light. Can we assume that a heavier car like our Legends get away with wider tires because it's weight keeps the rubber in contact with the road? This is the whole reason FWDs are generally considered better off in adverse conditions than RWDs right?
