As mentioned by RomGuyony, it depends on the track. F1 cars are designed so that the faster you go, you more downforce you get and hence can take corners much faster. LMP1 cars are designed to have high top speeds, but not a lot of dowforce and acceleration like the F1 cars.

If you were to take both cars around a track like Monaco, the F1 car would be faster due to the amoung of technical corners. However at a track like Le Mans the LMP1 car might be faster due to the slightly higher top speed. The only way to tell would to be on a game, however I think in a comparison the F1 car was faster.



Here is a quick comparison of the cars at Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps:

Silverstone

LMP1 lap time: 1:53:201 (2016 Audi R18)

F1 lap time: 1:33:401



Spa-Francorchamps

LMP1 lap time: 1:55:691 (2016 Audi R18)

F1 lap time 1:47:263



So the faster car is the F1 car as they are designed to have LOTS of downforce, fast acceleration and really good brakes. LMP1 cars might have the edge on top speed, but not downforce, acceleration and braking. Just remember with F1 cars that tight corners need to be taken slower then you think, as you could lose grip/downforce and spin off which takes a long time to recover from.
