    And F1 is very demanding.

    AMR test driver Jessica Hawkins said that she finds F1 is less demanding than lower tier formulas because F1 has power steering.

      The facts that F1 drivers are one of the fittest athletes in the world despite the power steering should tell you something.

        Lots of declarative statements that make you feel good about your opinion, but very little in the way of facts.

        Are they the fittest athletes in the world? By what metric? Endurance? O2 uptake? Onset acceleration rates? Do you have a list of the fittest sports players on average?

        What you’re really saying is it feels like F1 drivers are the fittest athletes, so it feels like women would have a hard time with 6Gs.

        In reality Gymnasts regularly experience 6 Gs just performing on a set of uneven bars.

          Thank you for your opinion, even though it has lots of declarative statements that make you feel good about your opinion, but very little in the way of facts.

            More bulverisms. I asked 3 easy questions for someone that has evidence to answer. You ignored all of them in favor of more emotion and opinion.
