The big issue is the front tires I believe.
In an LMP1 car, the front tires are close off from oncoming air meaning the front end doesn't need to bed sculpted to work around them.
In an F1 car, with these shorter wings, they're trying to send air around the tires with these complex wings. This is what I believe causes the issues that F1 has
EDIT: When lotterer drove the Caterham in 2014, he said it had a lot less downforce than his Audi if that's anything to go by
