"The heart rate of a top driver can average over 180bpm for a race distance of 90 minutes or more. This is huge and no other sport keeps a heart rate so high for such a long time."
There's no let down in racing, ever. You're brain is going all out constantly. You're driving on the edge all the time, and mistakes are not an option, as they don't just lead to giving a goal up, but crashing. Plus, they don't get a break every 45 minutes. ;)
@Killeryoshis: I'm a big (American) Football fan, and I think it pales in comparison to F1 racing. It's a great read.
