F1 cars race for 1.5 hours, LMP1 race for 24hours, at a pace that is 5seconds slower than an F1. They could go much faster but the race is won by the driver which races longer, not by the fastest lap. Moreover the WEC cars integrate different accessories (e.g. pistons to lift the cars during pits) that increase weight. F1 will always be faster because the race has a different target. The problem is that endurance races advance technology that gets ported to everyday cars, F1 doesn't (but this is matter for another discussion).
