I remember Jordan in 1996 having to widen their chassis so that Nigel Mansell could test their car in Barcelona, because he in turn had widen his own chassis ;)

Then again, not even today is Mansell as fat as Stewart, god knows how many changes they will need to make to that cockpit to allow him to breath. :)

Too bad the two seater isn't a side by side. :p

F1 has a 3 seater, a side, by side, by side car would actually fit Stewart better.

Smoke is now twice the man he was when he raced in the IRL.

I remember AJ being huge his last couple of seasons in the cockpit. I recall smoke lost a good bit of weight but he did put some back on. The dw12 cockpit is a good bit larger. If smoke wants to fit, he'll fit.

joking aside, looks quite roomy to me.
