Mate, have you ever driven a go kart? I hope you did because it sure is a lot of fun. But the fact is that it does not get more lightweight than that and the grip they have is ridiculous without any sort of aerodynamic support. That's because the centre of mass is very low. That's where they get the grip from. F1's don't have that low of a centre of mass, but it's close enough to generate the highest g-forces in racing, even at lower speeds. And have you ever seen a F1 drifting sideways? I have never. They either lose rear wheel traction or have massive understeer due to late braking or unfavorable track conditions. If an F1 actually drifted sideways out of a low speed corner I figure the whole team of engineers would be sacked.

In any case, I'm used to the cars and know well how to drive them, as this is not a rant. But just because everyone eventually gets used to the mechanics does not mean that the mechanics are not based on a bad concept.
