That's exactly what I would assume of F1 drivers in general. Apart from the conciousness bit. I don't see why you would have to be fitter to be an F1 driver than afighter pilot. Sorry.
How hard is it for you to grasp the concept of intensity. The fighter pilot pulls an extreme G maneouver and then can sit in straight flight for a while. It is usually calm flying with infrequent periods of extreme activity (you dont get many dogfights these days) The F1 driver has a cockpit of ridiculous heat (50 degrees celcius and above), while tackling heavy braking, steering and G forces around 14 times a 1:30 min lap for around 55 laps. They sweat off up to 3kg of their body weight to give you some clue as to the intensity of what they are up against in that cockpit. There have been drivers who have had to be lifted out and carried away from their cars due to fatigue and dehydration.
Now you are just boring me. I'll leave you and your cardboard cutout of Schumacher - the world's fittest man - alone.

What is it with all the Mr Men I am seeing today? There is a new member called Mr Bump with Mr Bump as an avatar and now you have Mr Rude as an avatar, Google has been a shrine to Mr Men all day. Is it Mr Men day or what is happening
No. I don't want to argue with you, now run along and play with your fetid manpiece as you wallow in your misplaced orsocleverbigboyness
