Funny story i was a Silverstone in 1992. The struggling Brabham team had 3 drivers in the program. Damon Hill, Giovani Amati, Perry McAuthey. I laughed at Perry's pick as he was a old bald man with a little grey hair around the sides. So he was a Grandpa.
He must be the oldest F1 driver i have ever seen.

How would you explain the technology of energy recovery and Kers and DRS to a senior. They would get confused in the simulator let alone the car.

Lots of work for the medical team if they where. How do you go from a cane and wobbly leg over the Haylo and into a the car without having a seizure.

Of course a Grandpa would loose and brag about ho in his day he used a shift lever and did not have DRS or KERS

A thought put a modern F1 car up against one of the classic racers. with cars from 50s to 90s (as they are undoubtedly different in design and behind in technology. The bigger the gap in years the bigger the gap in technology) And see who wins, and how close they are. You could have a cigar car without wings and see how much a difference down-force makes to performance.

Conserning a "grandpa" fitting a F1 car then when a retired Nigel Mansell in 1995 got a shortlived comeback the McLaren team had to build a speciel king size version of the car because Mansell was unable anymore

to fit into a normal F1 car

I dont know about Kevins grandpa but Kevin himself have no problem fitting in a modern narrow F1 car.
