Again, does Romain Grojean fit your definition of manliness?

Yes I said in my original post that the guys that drove those old cars were 'real' men & I stand by it. You replied by saying that today's drivers are fitter and yes they are fitter, what's your point?
As for Romain, I suspect that you picked him out because of his miraculous survival from the initial impact & escape from the flames. I fail to see how this makes him more 'manly' than the rest of his generation of drivers, yes his fitness helped with his survival & escape & with flames licking his arse, what else would he or any other driver do...he's not the only driver to have escaped a burning car.
Had it not been for the Halo he wouldn't have had a chance to emerge from the flames like the Phoenix he now is.
Does Romain fit my 'definition' of a 'more manly' 70's/80's racing driver...well obviously that'd be a no
