As for drivers blacking out, the drivers werent really athletes back then, many of them smoked and I seriously doubt that they spent much time in the gym, while todays drivers are without exception in excellent physical shape.
Interestingly Adrian Newey cut his teeth back in the early/mid '80s at March and was involved in their IndyCar project. When F1 banned ground effect cars after '82, IndyCars were still fully ground effect.

I remember seeing Keke Rosberg heaving on the Marlboros.
