Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Schumacher

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

Yer tellin' me?  They had a crew of 5 people at all times plus an engine 
crew.

F1 G forces - somewhere read that F1 drivers are subjected for the duration 
of the race between 2 and 4.5 G's most of the time.  2 acceleration, 4.5 
braking 2-3 cornering and done in 150 degree heat.  Not uncommon to get a 
heart rate which spikes 200 beats per minute.

Of course Clyde - compared to a fighter pilot - you know these are 
pantywaist numbers where you can experience black outs, red outs, and just 
plain get trashed in your office.  All in a days work, eh?
