This is a terrible comparison. Of course an athlete specializing in one sport would get smoked in another sport.
Fair enough. Let's use a different hypothetical. Take average sized players from every sport,(football, baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, tennis, wrestling, etc.) including auto racing, and have them compete in a 2 day decathalon - the recognized standard for "greatest athlete in the world".
The drivers are getting smoked. Sure they will beat the golfers and some others and put up a good fight but they aren't going to measure up to what we consider professional athletes. Doing something with a car is simply not the same thing as doing something with your body.

Wow, this is even more stupid.

You're getting your arse handed to you. I'd quit while you were ahead.

You clearly have zero idea the training these guys go through or really anything about F1
