Message: [QUOTE="siffert_fan, post: 40145, member: 10"] Excuse me, C_A_T: "All Fangio had to do was hold down the loud pedal"? How about using the third pedal (called a clutch, which the modern F1 drivers never heard of), moving the gear lever by hand, knowing that missing a gear would probably end your race, all while driving between a brick wall and a cliff while seated in a wheeled tank of gas without protective gear (seat belts, fireproof underwear, helmets worthy of the name)! Would any of today's drivers be willing to race under such conditions? Point is, as Hamberg states, comparing cannot be done! [/QUOTE]
