68... 72 if I try really hard, but can't keep the pace for longer period and still be reasonably accurate.

I did this just now. It kind of depends what keyboard I'm using, how tired I am, etc. I'd be genuinely quite interested to get some opinions and data on how typing speed is affected by different keyboard switches. For example, I'm pretty fast on white Alps, pretty slow on Space Invaders, and Topre is somewhere in-between.

I'll never understand why Formula 1 drivers feel superior to truck drivers who are on the road 100 or 150 thousand km per year.

Probalby because there are more Truck drivers than Formula 1 drivers. So I guess it is harder to get that job.

This is tricky because I type faster in Italian than in English but I don't use an Italian keyboard so all accented vowels require a key-combo effectively slowing me down.

In an optimal condition I'd say I'm around 70-75 in English and 80-85 in Italian. I'm a coder (shortcuts and autocomplete), not a typist :P
