The weight of the F1 car is not really why it needs a 405mm rear tire, it's the speeds at which they are trying to make those turn at. I am sure it would do just fine if it had 205 rear tires and took turns at 45mph.
Thats what I told to you. Its not the weight of the vehicle but how much power the vehicle has and how effectively you want to get that power to the ground. Weight has nothing to do with it.

You're saying that since the ZL1 weighs so much, that it needs wider tires because of that. No it doesn't. It needs the wider tires to put the power to the ground better and it turns better because of those wider tires.

No one ever looked at a 500hp sports car and said "Hmmm...this car weighs 3000lbs, so I only need 225mm tires."
