I think it is interesting for the simple fact that drivers from other series get too experience something new and any racecar driver worth their salt enjoy's such things. Both forms are difficult to extract maximum performance from and hey I'm pretty sure Tony and Lewis will have a great time and thats all that really matters isn't it?

Not sure - probably more of these - notice the reassurance 'The size is one size fits most (90-160 lbs)'. Most? 160 lbs?

Guess which one is actually far harder to drive?

Quite a loaded question there. Flame bait as well.
Anyway, here is my take on it. I grew up with a father who would watch nascar. I would try and watch it as a kid and the only time it was ever interesting to me was when they would crash. Not the greatest start of a fan base for me. After watching 2010's season and some of 1994 and some of 1988, even through all these eras there is the same monotonous droning in both sports.
Given this, you are talking about droning around a course, difference is one is high speed oval one is a series of high speed corners, straights, and sudden low speed bends. I don't doubt nascar takes talent and balls of steel, but I find it hilarious that NASCAR dares to use the word STOCK in their title.
Anyway side from this, I have a question, is this swap for a race? Like Lewis will be in a real race and Stewart will be in a real GP? Or is this just a show off session or like a test? Will it be televised?
is this a serious question

Yeah it is, I don't know the ins and outs of all this, unless I have overlooked something. I'm all ears
haha, fair enough
there is no way they'd swap for an actual race.
especially from the F1 side.
I think in NASCAR you get points for completing labs, and there are about 40 races, so that's a bit feasible i suppose
