No I think Adam has a point: When I get in my 3 litre Capri I really am King of the Road. It is very easy for me. No-one can touch me and women are so impressed.
So why are F1 drivers rewarded with admiration and million dollar salaries? I could do that. Automatic gearboxes, no junctions or traffic lights to worry about and all the traffic goes in the same direction. It's easy.
So can someone just lend me a Mclaren or Ferrari for a few laps just so I can show all you sceptics how easy it is? I don't mind leaving my front door and am prepared to travel 10kms, if there is a bus to a circuit too but no further.
