There really isn't a place/opportunity for a normal Joe to drive (race) an F1 car. It's not like a Porsche Cup car that can be raced in many different series.
As such, I see the only real place to drive (race) an F1 car is at vintage events, or similar type programs.
I suspect that anyone that has gone down the path of acquiring an old F1 car, and the time and expense in maintaining one, has devoted the time required to drive it. Not saying he (or she) will ever be able to get all of the performance available out of it (they won't), but I think they could race it outside of F1.
The physical aspect is training, and pretty much anyone that is devoted can achieve what is needed.
The skill, which I suspect is where your question is based, is another thing altogether.
