I also don't see the need to name drop all the time - I've worked with xxx and yyyy, aren't I brilliant. No.
I think fitness is definitely beneficial to a driver as I find the more fit I am the better I handle driving, but it's only one part of the whole package. There is much more to it.

I agree I have seen plenty of fit people that could run a marathon but couldn't drive to save their life.
