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.

None of our present drivers would come close to Jody in physicality, Jody was a pretty solidly built, strong man.
Jenson would probably be able to outrun him over a marathon, but very little else I'd guess.
Be interesting to see how Jenson Mk 2014 performs after he has been starving himself!

After the above - probably not at all athletic!
Like comparing Lindsay Vonn and Twiggy!
