Be rude not to really!. Back then it was one of the benefits of being a racing driver - look at James Hunt and Barry Sheene - know they both died young, but they sure enjoyed themselves in their short lives. Given the downside of the risk of being killed racing at that time I suppose you can't blame them.

It's curious seeing Annie sliding down into the seat of the F1 car with almost a look of fear. Back in 1998 we had two Jordan F1 cars on stage for a show and a few people tred to get into them. They are snug and almost claustrophobic for a thin person and some of the people at this show were NOT slim. We had to stop them before Sombody got stuck. Plus many of the carbon wing sections are actually sharp. The car sits very low to the ground, even without an engine in it. Just lifting the cars onto a 2m stage level was difficult. We rolled them onto a sheet of Plywood and then used a fork lift to pick them up. Seeing an F1 car close up gave me a lot more respect for the drivers of these machines and the designers that build them.
