Why do F5 tornadoes have longer path then F1?

In most cases an F1 tornado does not have that much energy and soon runs out and is more easily disrupted, though a few F1 tornadoes have had long damage paths. By contrast an F5 tornado will generally have several orders of magnitude more energy to release. Additionally, such a strong tornado could be considered more robust. A shift in the parent storm that might cut can F1 tornado's lifespan and thus damage path short, while the same shift might only weaken an F5 tornado somewhat.
