It would be interesting to get a pilot and driver together to compare experience. I realize it would be much easier to put an F1 driver in an FA 18 Hornet's co pilot seat than it would be to do the opposite. One thing for sure is the commonality of G-forces. Interesting also is the fact that although an F1 car creates tremendous downforce, the driver feels none of it. Only acceleration in 2 axis (with the occasional elevation change and subsequent forces). The fighter pilot doesn't get too much lateral force, his 2 axis are fore and aft and up and down.

I think they's each be a bit disorientated at first.
