superkarts and F1

All that has to do with the power train, gearbox, clutch, fuels and lubricants, etc. Generally the mechanical side of Formula One.

how do superkarts perform so well despite lacking a rear differential? Could a similar concept be applied to F1 cars?

See other posts re: big b*lls, short wheelbase, etc. etc. - different game entirely.

Try and follow an F1 car through Pouhon in a kart.

You cannot compare.

F1 diff's are very sophisticated and are controlled electronically.

Fixed diff's (or spools) are only used in NASCAR oval racing and drag racing.
