Seeing that G-Meter reminded me of something on one of the Sky classic races from the other day.
Watching Nigel Mansell from 1991 commentate an OnBoard round Silverstone & saying they were hitting upwards of 9G through Maggotts/Becketts/Chapel

Yes he did. And in fact he still finished 13th. This time his finish position was assisted by other people binning it, rather than reliability issues like in 2002. |

I remember that some huge accidents forces back in the day were reported to be "as huge as over 10 G's". |

It's Mansell commentating his pole lap of 91(iirc) and that was even debated on the comments of the video. It's clearly a mistake from Nigel there. He probably just added up the 4,5Gs to each side as 4,5Gs is the numbers mentioned by Murray Walker while commentating a similar(if not the same) 91 lap. BTW, I wonder why the helmet cam is only been used on Bottas and why can't they fit in a better quality one? I'm not an expert on these things but I thought a tiny camera with still great quality was something quite ordinary nowadays, FFS |

Tire "exploded" according to Perez...and obviously not caught on camera by FOM. |

Fuji TV must be doing coverage this weekend. Expect missed rollover in the race. |
