Maybe drivers will have to wear G Suits like fighter pilots wear.

Have  been watching my tape of the recent subject race and have a couple of  
questions
for the brain rust, make that brain trust.  One of the  commentators 
mentioned the P1 leaders were pulling 4 G's thru some corners  and around 
1.5G on braking (!!) - pretty incredible,  He also said  the braking, 
especially, was very hard on the legs and back - painful in  fact - every 
lap, over and over.

Ya think we're close to creating  cars that are too demanding physically for 
the drivers?  M Shumacher  was very fit when driving F1 as was most other 
drivers at that level - I  suspect that was for self protection as much as 
for improving their  driving ability.

Or perhaps the cars already exist that are so good at  pulling high G's when 
cornering or braking that they had to be redesigned  to allow the drivers 
some hint of the ability to be in control?  IOW,  are the designs of the cars 
being restrained by the drivers  physiology?

Next, where were the Porsche RS Spyders?  Taking a  break?  ;-)

Thanks gang -
