I guess Alonzo is now the old man of F1 at age 41. Yea, John Force is never gonna race in F1 but few humans ever will. No doubt F1 is a league of their own in expensive high tech cars, and huge budgets. I love F1, but the FIA sure could be improved like many things French.
Drag racing and F1 have only the fact they run on four rubber tires and consume a petroleum derived fuel with a human driving it, and the object is to win. Not much else connects them.
Drag racing was traditionally the purview of back yard garage mechanics and home grown performance. Run what ya bung was the mantra. F1 has long since gone from the days of a small team building their own car and winning.
I have seen the clip of Richard Hammond trying to drive a older F1 car, and he could not go fast enough to keep the tires warm. He could not, like I suspect all of us, go faster to be able to make the corner as he was going too slow.
