Do you mean Jody Scheckter winning Superstars in 1981 ? To be fair that was a different era and wasn't a pure aerobic/anerobic challenge... rather something set up for TV.
I suppose to benchmark an F1 star today against an elite athlete we could probably use Jenson Button's triathlon performances. Jenson's around the 2h15 mark while the Brownlee's are around 1h45. It's very good, but still 29% off... which is a lot when doing athlete to athlete comparison.
