They are super fit, and it's all stamina. If you tried driving an F1 car for 2 hours with the sorts of G-Forces they withstand mid-race, you would get out a broken husk of a man. The fact that they can even lift a trophy and walk about is a testament to their stamina and fitness. Mansell once sweated well over half a stone out in a race.
As I said I think they are fit but super fit, as in as fit as a cyclist / runner? No way.
They have to spend to much time practicing driving to be able to be able to fit in a training regime that would make them as fit as cyclist / runner e.t.c
To say to me that I would be a broken husk of a man after 2 hours in a car is one hell of an assumption, you don't know me or have an idea how fit I am. Also comparing me to someone from who it is their job to race cars, who is trained for that and say I would find it hard work is just the most ridiculous comparison.
@BRM Jensen Button may compete in time trails for fun extra training, to make the rest of his training easier, and to make his time in the car easier in his spare time but that does not change what I have said. Not saying racing drivers are not fit but super fit in comparison to runners, cyclist I think not. Even if that guy is really fit it still does not mean all drivers are that fit.
