F1 is not a good example for carbon component longevity. I worked as an engineer in F1 (not a composite specialist, but saw a lot of it). Critical structural carbon components are typically proof tested every 1000 km. The two biggest issues (aside from a crash) in their case are stone chips and exhaust heat.
