Ring times could be explained in many ways.

Improved suspension geometry and tuning (less understeer, improved camber curves = more grip)
Adaptive suspension (more body control, less pitch/roll = more grip, improved driver confidence)
Improved power delivery (less heatsoak)
Tires (Pilot SuperSports are a big step up from most anything that came before them)
Improved behavior at the limit (allows the driver maximize performance)

There's more to a car than power and weight.
