They are actually pretty wide tread patterns, but the mechanics of F1 tire in the wet are totally different than a bike tire.
The way I understand it, the weight per contact patch of a cycle tire is much greater and instead of hydroplaning on top of the water, a cycle tire would just cut right through it thus not needing tread pattern for clearing water from the track of the cycle.
