    As I have posted before, we have entered a norm in which the old pleasing notion of 'becoming one with the car" is now exposed as serious drawback.

    This is quite different from latter day drivers who bounced around in their seats in inefficiently-sprung cars on rough tracks.

    Today's drivers are superbly strong and fit and healthy, but, as a Dakar winner once described modern rally driving, "Your body is like a milkshake." At the Austin track, a W Series driver suffered two vertebral compression fractures vertebrae [and they
    HEARD the crack] from simply running onto a sausage kerb and getting bounced.

    People who were primed to scoff at Hamilton's and Russell's complaints may now listen to a Ferrari driver.

    Europe is always sucking hind tit when it comes to safety.

    The interview reports that an F4 driver on the day following Abbey's curb incident, had the SAME curb bump exactly, registering 50G on his car sensors, and he too suffered fractured vertebrae.

    Make the chassis, suspension and sidewalls stiff enough and the weak
    link is driver physiology.

    I never scoffed at either of them.

    I cannot imagine how bad that is for the drivers. I know my 60-year-old
    body couldn't possibly stand it.

    Dragsters are now registering minus-7G retarding when their chutes open, and several dragster drivers have suffered retina detachment, and many experience momentary tunnel vision. .

    I've experience 5G riding in the back seat of a jet trainer. That was
    vertical in respect to the body which is easier to take than similar
    horizontal forces, but under that acceleration, even raising a hand
    takes serious effort. The though of contending with such forces on a
    head encased in a relatively heavy helmet for 90 odd minutes fills me
    with respect for those able to do it.
