Given the chance of a drive, I'm fairly sure that all of us could find a way to slim down to a scale that would fit in that seat....

Although being a Jap car driver, I'm fairly sure that the Nakajima sized seat would never fit someone of my height.....bugger....

I think the only thing that could help you or I get in a F1 car would be a chain saw.

Remember visiting the David Coulthard, museum at Twynholm in Scotland, and a womem sat in a williams and got stuck and no pulling or tugging could get her out, we left before the fire brigade arrived.

I remember doing a pit garage visit to Tom Dunstans garage (cheers Bobblehat!) and having a good look around the car.  My only reaction when talking to Tom about the car, was "where would I put my other leg?"

Racing cars are made for short, skinny people.  I am neither.
