the old times were harder in the sense dying was a real possibility and safety was much worse, and the cars often had manual transmissions

but modern F1 is harder imo because the field is closer than ever

both in terms of cars and drivers

they are bigger with poorer visibility from the cockpit and have much more downforce therefore more G forces in the corners

80s and 90s were harder due to many reasons

Engine blows were more common

It was more dangerous so the drivers mentally had to go through more
