Realistically, how would you measure this?
The drivers already have to pass a test as part of the safety protocol to be able to remove the belts and be out of the car in under 7 seconds, so something like that. Maybe test before and after they do a workout or something? I'll leave that to medical professionals to figure out.
Here's an article that discusses the driver testing in more detail - https://www.gpfans.com/en/f1-news/1039898/12-second-driving-test-f1-superstars-max-verstappen-lewis-hamilton/
Interesting, thanks for sharing that. Still it's the race distance that's the differentiator. Remember De Vries couldn't get out of the car either after his super sub for Albon. I wasn't thinking at the time how dangerous that could be, so yeah I agree with you.
Right, that's why I was thinking some kind of workout or something might give them an indication something is wrong before race time. I know other sports have concussion protocols when a head injury occurs and more thorough investigation is needed where they use a mix of historical markers and current performance as part of the evaluation. Maybe F1 needs something like that for the overall physical fitness of the drivers, especially after a big crash. I'll never forget watching Grosjean's crash and seeing Jack unable to get out of the car like that just gives me chills.
