I remember the editor of F1 Racing magazine being allowed to drive the Williams car at the end of pre season testing in Spain some years ago. They said he'd have to get a racing licence (obviously not a Super Licence) first IIRC. I think this was to make sure he wasn't a muppet.
Fast forward to the test days and the rain came down, far from ideal. Even so the chap was allowed out, but the car was spinning almost everywhere, on multiple occasions in a lap even when it appeared to be going in a straight line. He didn't bin it completely into the Armco thankfully.
Since that day I have a new found respect for the drivers when the rain comes down.
So yes, I think a normal joe can drive it in the dry, but the wet is a different kettle of fish.
