The physical punishment of modern racing has forced drivers to adapt body to machine.
There is a thrill to F1 racing, sure, but above all there is self-inflicted cruelty. The cars are so fast that some corners on grand prix tracks generate g-forces greater than a space shuttle re-entering earth’s atmosphere. To withstand them, drivers must be in a otherworldly shape. This surprises people outside F1, but fitness becomes more central to the sport with each passing year: To put up with the g’s, much less win, drivers must have the neck, shoulder, and back strength of a power lifter and the stamina of a marathon runner. Drivers’ hearts thump at 160 beats per minute on average up to 200 when the racing is close. Jenson Button, the 2009 world champion, found the best way to decompress from an F1 race was to take up triathlons. Drivers sweat so much on race day that they lose around five pounds, 10 if it’s hot, which it often is, because the F1 series chases summer and Instagram-perfect locales.
