Try telling a Formula One driver that driving a car is for the fat and lazy. Despite the fact that they effectively earn a living by sitting in a car, the strength and endurance required of a F1 racer is pretty incredible.
There are lateral G-forces which can make the driver feel as though there is an extra 25 kg (or 55.12 lbs) on his neck. There are also longitudinal G-forces acting on the driver, plus additional forces from car acceleration and deceleration mid-drive. There's the extreme heat found in the F1 cockpit, especially at the hotter rounds of the championships, also puts a vast straight on the body. How do F1 drivers adapt to these conditions?
