Rossi any good?

One of the best demonstrations I've seen of how much physical effort is
required to drive F1 was when Tiff drove Prost's 1990 Ferrari on an old
episode of Top Gear. Not sure how many laps he did but you could hear
the guy huffing and puffing as he was shifting through the gears during
braking etc, and how short his speech suddenly became as he was working
so hard. On top of this, it was clearly evident that he was not
driving the thing anywhere near its potential.

(From memory the V12 was the same unit that had originally been in the
F1-90, and was badly misfiring after sitting in a corner for a few
years.)
