The other day at the local park, I had a conversation with a man (prob late 40's) about motorsports. Our conversation a one point he was telling me about F1 drivers of the 50's were sometimes crossover alpine skiers. He had mentoned that alpine skiers had quick hand eye coordination, and strong necks. All which make for a good F1 driver in the 50's.

Does anyone have any more information about that?

Just wondering.
