Open Wheel Racing 2021, anyone there to watch?

I think open wheelers are no longer all that short anymore. The general population keeps getting taller for one thing. Ocon may not be a Russell height, but he's up there. Dixon is at least average height. There are other F1 drivers who I'm sure give headaches to the technical designers...

Yes, Mario is very short. I've met him also.

Remember Howdy Holmes? He was extremely short, jockey size. I remember he once said he fully believed that he had a reflex advantage, because his nerve signals had less distance to cover. He actually said that. Don't know how much tongue in cheek, though...

Howdy Holmes, now there’s a blast from the past!

I’ve met Mario and Michael, Montoya and TK. All of them were pretty short in stature. Maybe 5’8” for TK and Montoya.

but you’re right. The age of all the drivers being diminutive is over.
