Yeah, they train a lot on simulators these days. However those who aim to become professional racers, they actually get into real, albeit smaller, cars at a very early age around 6 or 7.
The greatest Formula 1 drivers all started their careers at a young age; normally around 6 or 7 years old. https://www.lancashire.ac.uk/articles/advice/working-in-f1

Yupp. I guess it requires a lot of mental and physical toughness to become a F1 driver, they start it so early.

Yes I can't think of another sport that requires you to be at peak focus and intensity for so long. Most sports you only do that in bursts.

That's because you don't put your life on the line in other games.
Have you ever tried 200 mph? I've done 130 mph on a kawasaki for 5 minutes, tbh I felt like my body was flying for hours after that.
In a car, I did around the 150 mph, which again left my body lighter and mind completely numb for some time.

I also didn't do that on a normal road. I did it on the F1 track which was under construction. Initially it went open for testing way back in 2008 and it's so near to me that I couldn't resist.
