3gs

The body is designed to pump blood upward, but negative gs force more of the blood to the head, causing vessels to burst in the eyes — a condition called “red out” — and, eventually, the brain. A extended force as low as negative 3 gs can prove fatal.

Uniform acceleration doesn’t hurt you at all, it’s only non-uniform acceleration that’s potentially dangerous. The deformation causes pressure which applies force to the front half (and all the inside parts) of you forcing the rest of your body to accelerate too. …

Formula One drivers usually experience 5 g while braking, 2 g while accelerating, and 4 to 6 g while cornering. Every Formula One car has an ADR (Accident Data Recorder) device installed, which records speed and g-forces.

G-suits would do absolutely nothing for F1 drivers unless they start driving on vertical loops like a Hot Wheels track. G-forces aren’t high enough to pull the blood away from their brains and make them black out.

Meaning that during an F1 race the drivers will experience up to 4 or 5 G’s routinely under braking and cornering or where the car might slow down to low speed from its top speed of 300-350km/h in only a couple seconds.

A typical person can handle about 5 g0 (49 m/s2) (meaning some people might pass out when riding a higher-g roller coaster, which in some cases exceeds this point) before losing consciousness, but through the combination of special g-suits and efforts to strain muscles—both of which act to force blood back into the …

F1 drivers can experience nearly 6G (lateral) during high speed corner and ~5G during heavy braking. Modern headrests and HANS-device help to reduce neck’s g-force strain but to withstand these forces for the entire race distance without being overly exhausted drivers actively have to train their neck muscles.

You might have noticed that many F1 drivers have ridiculously thick necks, but this is what they desire. Their necks can experience up to 5Gs of force while wearing a helmet and other support gear that weighs up to 15 pounds.

“Formula 1 drivers are extremely fit athletes,” says Eliot Challifour, a performance coach who has worked with former McLaren driver Stoffel Vandoorne and others over the course of his 15 years in motorsport.

Yeah well, THEY DONT have any such set-up! Instead, F1 drivers pee inside their race suits during the race. They simply pee inside their suits.

Cockpit temperature averages 122 degrees Fahrenheit. During races that last two and a half hours, drivers can drop more than six pounds just through sweating.

F1 Drivers use both pedals. If you have one foot for both pedals, it would waste a lot of time to shift the foot to step on another pedal. This could cause the waste of a least a millisecond which could result your lap time or even when overtaking someone.

Two foot driving used to cause mechanical problems — but not anymore. The prohibition against using your left foot for the brake originally came from the fact that all cars had manual transmissions — so the left foot was needed for the clutch. They’re now standard for the vast majority of new cars.

The team ran last year’s car in a special black livery, which they switched to before the delayed season started, as a show of support for diversity and a stand against racism and discrimination everywhere – a cause that Lewis Hamilton particularly embraced throughout the season.
