F1 driver easily. Footballers don't have to worry about running, kicking balls, playing like primadonnas, earning too much money, buying huge houses whilst experiencing 3g's.

Re: Easy Question
F1 Defo. Not ayrton though!! Current drivers are much fitter! Lewis, Mark, maybe Jens at the top I'd say.

Re: Easy Question
They have a big break halfway through, F1 drivers have a couple of 8 sec breaks and no oranges.

Re: Easy Question
I would say it's relatively equal; it's a different type of fitness, F1 drivers need to have strong enough muscles to withstand the G-Forces exerted by a F1 car but footballers need more stamina fitness as they are constantly running around. Formula 1 drivers don't have much to physically do in modern F1 cars; it's not like old F1 when the car had a clutch and a physical gear stick and non of this fly by wire control system!
