I’m reading about their slender and low muscle mass body frame consistent with every driver to maximize performance. Will they not benefit from bigger size to sustain the g force?

I would think larger people would have more trouble with g forces. If you’re 100lbs, 2g is putting an extra 100lbs if force, but a 200lbs person is getting +200lbs at 2g. A 200lb person is still made of the same stuff as a 100lb person so they don’t have any special resistance to g forces.
