  1. F1 cars also have ridiculously light flywheels to allow rapid RPM changes as requested by the driver. To get some idea about the throttle response of the engine, see this compilation of F1 engines playing music: https://youtu.be/y5opv-r9nZc The reason they play music with the engine is that they need to heat up the engine in any case with a computer controller warm up routine. Then some marketing people figured out that it would be cool to apply the throttle positions in the warm-up routine to match notes in music. Usually when you release throttle the RPM will more or less slowly decrease because flywheel keeps the engine running without fuel. With F1 engines the compression is high and flywheel is minimal so the RPM drops instantly.

  2.  @Intellistation6225  It seems to be somewhat similar to normal flywheel or part of clutch: https://youtu.be/x63kTUIb4dM?t=105 I don't know about the weight but the physical size seems to be tiny compared to normal cars.
