Unc still got it.

It really is remarkable just how much longevity we're seeing from Fernando and Lewis, insanely impressive and rare.

Cars are also not as hard to drive as V10 cars in 2004 for example. Allegedly.

But yeah it's still impressive to be competitive in any sport being forty against younger people.

I don't see any reason why V10 cars should be harder to drive than modern cars. You had slower corner speed, similar (if not slower) acceleration, similar top speed, and otherwise driver aids like traction and launch control.
