Following up to Graz

And yet when they engage in their sport of choice, they're physically
active. As opposed to sitting in a tight F1 cockpit, being barely
able to move.

so your single "valid" objection to F1 is that you don't exercise as you do
it. Fine. So just say "I wouldn't do F1 because I want to do a sport where
you exercise as you do it".

I can do better than that:
Any "sport" in which you don't exercise while you're doing it isn't a
sport.

"It's one of the world's most physically demanding sports - now Live
dissects the anatomy of the ultimate F1 machine: the driver"

"A typical F1 driver?s body-fat percentage is just seven, equivalent
to that of an elite marathon runner"

"F1 drivers can sweat out up to three litres of fluid during the
hottest races"

"Most mortals have a resting heart rate of around 70bpm.
A typical F1 driver?s heart ticks over in the mid-40s. The adrenaline
released just sitting on the grid raises his heart rate to around
150bpm"

Daily Mail??? LOL

Is that the best you could come up with in the face of huge evidence
proving you wrong?


You can find similar stats on many other sites, including:

This gets better - a F1 website! LOL


"Improving a F1 driver's muscular mass and endurance implies a very
localised bodybuilding: any car designer will indeed tell you that the
thinner, the lighter, the better to fit in the tiny F1 car cockpit. It
is then important to develop strength without increasing volume and
weight too much. Some specific muscles groups particularly need to be
developed, one of the most important being without doubt the driver's
neck.

Some activities are commonly integrated to all drivers fitness
programme:

- indoor activities: running and cycling on machines, weight-lifting
as well as training on special equipment designed to reproduce F1
racing conditions.
- outdoor activities: mountain biking, race cycling, jogging, tennis,
kayak (which is excellent for cardio-vascular training)"

Obviously a F1 website isn't going to admit that motor racing is all
about sitting and steering!

You claiming that they made all that up? And that the Daily Mail did
too?

What counter evidence do *you* have?
