Everybody knows about "bon vivant drivers" in Formula 1, drivers who didn´t care about physical training, partied and got hard drinking, men who didn´t like tests and lived a life in "high style" with girls, parties, alcohol, cigarettes, luxury boats, airplanes and etc. James Hunt, Eddie Irvine, Elio De Angelis, Nelson Piquet, Clay Regazzoni, François Cevert, Patrick Depailler, Mike Hailwood, Keke Rosberg, Mika Salo and many others, they was good examples of the bon vivant racing driver.
And what´s about this kind of behavior in CART/Indycar racing? Al Unser Jr was an alcohol addict and smoked many cigarettes after the races. Danny Sullivan did jobs as a model, starred in the Miami Vice series and was seen so many times in black tie parties with beatiful girls in his arms. I would like to know about another CART/Indycar/USAC drivers that we can call "bon vivants", I think it is a very interesting thing..
