But the reactions are way slower then a F1 car. The steering rack probably has way more angle so catching slides should be easier.
Overall the car would feel sluggish compared to a razorblade like modern F1 cars.
Normal people have trouble getting an F1 car around 1 lap because it´s incredibly hard to get temps in the tires and brakes.
And that´s just doing a lap
Doing a lap in that car is easy compared to a modern one.
With that said, i would presume everything that came with it is alot more scarier like sitting in a car with no belts, no helmet, no cozy cockpit, running at high speeds in city streets etc.
there´s no doubt that you would have balls the size of planets to drive in that time but my guess is driving the actual car is way way easier then todays.
It´s a totally different beast today.
The truth will come out...
