Are modern F1 drivers as good a previous generations
Are modern F1 drivers as good as the earlier counterparts, I hear engineers telling the drivers to speed up which although they didn't have telemetry years ago, good / great drivers from earlier periods didn't need telling.
Mind, Barry Sheene in an early 80s British Bike GP, dropped out within a few laps after leading, he then took over teammate Steve Parrish's pit signals who was then leading, on the last lap he put out a pit board with 'Gas it Wan..r', Parrish fell off on the next bend - no doubt laughing his head off.
