Let's say that you could freeze someone and bring them back as they were in their time. So we take the older generation drivers at their prime and put them in today's cars. They would struggle. I think fitness wise it is a completely different ball game today and with the number of additional races that drivers have to do and at the high speeds/g forces it would be difficult to manage.
If we took the same drivers and had them all born on the same day, existing in the same systems with the same nutrition and fitness and experience of the time, I think they would be just as good as today's drivers.
