F1 cars have dumbed down a bit in recent years, but an A1GP car has as been said no driver aids.
That means no traction control,
Mechanical gearshifts under driver and not computer control
No launch control
And as Germany showed today...no anti-stall for the pitstops.

So while the drivers may not be under the same physical G loading, they have so much more to concentrate on in order to get the best from the car.
