motorsports are extremely physically demanding, way more than some "proper" sports. You should go drive gokarts some time, when you're exhausted and sore after half an hour, try to imagine doing it at 10x higher forces and for four times longer.

Plus some categories still have direct steering, which means just turning the steering wheel is super hard, it's not uncommon for Indy drivers to have blisters on their hands after some races.
