Former McLaren F1 world champion, James Hunt, once talked about the difference between motorsport and other sports. He mentioned that racing in F1 allowed him to stay up late with women.
As quoted by Marca in 2020, Hunt once discussed the perks he enjoyed while racing in F1. He explained that if he were in any other sport, he would have to sleep as early as 10 pm. However, since he used to race in F1, he joked that he could stay up late at night and be with women for another hour.
"Were I a serious professional athlete I'd have to go off to bed at 22:00. But, as a racing driver, I can perhaps stay with a girl another hour and that might make all the difference," Hunt once said.
