@accordgtr im trying to be as respectful as possible, and i totally think that what you did was very difficult, but GT racing is NOTHING like F1 racing. F1 cars pull 5-6 G in the corners and braking, while GT cars only 1. One corner of an F1 course in an F1 car going at the max speed would cause you to lose conciousness.
I drove the last 1.5 hours of a winning 4-hour Touring Car Endurance race and I felt like having a heart attack as soon as I got out of the car. I was driving with tunnel vision the last several laps because fatigue was setting in. I can imagine how fit and strong F1 drivers are after my personal experience.
@haggidubious In the 70s drivers partied their way through the season because there was a good chance they wouldn't survive to see retirement. Today it's safer (always a good thing) and more professional (a little bit of a sad thing). It would be great to have a James Hunt on the grid again.
@DreamChasing strongest though ... Martin brundle himself in the pre show for one of the races mentioned schumacher lifting weights in the gym that no other f1 driver would touch at the age of 42. All drivers in the paddock atm only exercise the parts of their body which they need for driving the f1 car. Schumacher overall works on his whole body and has done since he came into f1
why is everyone here complaining about the hard workouts,have you ever seen a overweight race car driver of any kind,NO. If you have a real passion for the sport then you will go through anything to be the best at it.
@johsy hahaha nascar? to get into nascar you have to eat a lot of shit, pizza, burgers, smoke cigars, drink miller beer, eat cheetos, sinf country music, chew big red gum, and have a big belly.....then voila! you are a nascar driver!
@KevinCali24 Yea because all the other drivers then did the same. Schumi and Senna were the first to get into really worrying about their fitness, and it showed.
juggling on a bouncy ball....is that even necessary!!

Yeah, I preferred the overindulgent crazies of the 70's, who all smoked and partied their way to the top.
