As I understand it, its not (only) the engine, but the aerodynamics of the car.
The RB18 can create a lot of downforce (probably from the floor) while not creating that much drag on high speed. So they probably have to run less wing to have comparable downforce in corners.
When other teams would try to run with that little drag, they would miss the necessary downforce in the corners.
The biggest differences are made at high speed with the RB18, not in acceleration. When accelerating in a straigth line, the cars from the top teams are pretty much on par I think.
