Have a look into the fitness of F1 drivers. They will lose kilograms of sweat during a race, burn a ton of calories, heart rate 170+ for two hours straight.
It's incredibly tough on the body. They also have to keep their weight down.
Jenson Button finished a triathlon in 4 hours 40 mins, fast enough to qualify for the World Championships in the triathlon but he just does this sh
it to stay fit enough to race his car as well as he can.

Many people tend to underestimate the prime athletic status of Formula One drivers. All they do is sit in a car and spin the wheel for a couple of hours, right? Hell, you do that every week without getting any fitter, so how hard can it be? In actual fact, to drive an F1 car at high speeds for two hours without rest requires an extremely high level of muscular endurance and core strength.
For F1 drivers, the most important area to work on is core fitness. Not only will a strong core help prevent injury during crashes, but a strong waist and neck are also vital when it comes to withstanding the G-force pressures the drivers’ bodies are subjected to when cornering at speed and braking and accelerating quickly.
