[DeTomaso] F1 Experience

[michael at michaelshortt.com]

The modern F1 driver is about 5'5" - 5'9" and 135 - 160 lbs.
Weber was the last tall one and if you remember, Kubica looked almost dead
when he went from 165 to 150 by team orders.

The old guard would never be able to get into the these new  cars and I
doubt the new drivers would have the strength to manhandle the older cars.
