I think it would be an interesting discussion to discover the lifestyle habits of successful drivers. I expect, for the most part, drivers who regularly appear in the late rounds have not been at a late night party in the previous days.

In his book, Jackie Stewart said that the week prior of the race, he would only eat fish, lamb, vegetables, sea weed
(not the one people smoke), fresh fruits, juice and water. No alcohol, beef, pastries, sugars or caffeine.
