I reckon there are some drivers from an earlier age who could make the transition - Jim Clark mixed-in with the other drivers to some extent, but on the whole he was not a carouser in the mould of Graham Hill. He was physically fitter, I reckon, than many of his era.
And S C Moss was very conscious of his need to keep fit - he took a very professional attitude towards his career. In his prime I reckon he could have adapted to the current G-forces. It's the one big "what if?" from my favourite era - what if he could have raced against Clark on equal terms for a couple of seasons? Epic races, I imagine.
