Things are never equal, this is all relative. More stuff WILL increase acceleration, decelerations, and handling; turbo, bbk, and coils. All despite adding weight. Being light/balanced is only good until a certain point, relativity is key.

And if the F1 could run AWD im sure they would spank current setups, dont underestimate the speed of traction.
