The question is what is the upper end of the reading. The impact is not going to be the range a F1 team would normally use.
I’m pretty sure they have both. I’ll look around while they fix Tommy-Tip-Over.

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. According to the FIA, Robert Kubica of BMW Sauber experienced 75 g during his 2007 Canadian Grand Prix crash.
Formula One racing car driver David Purley survived an estimated 179.8 g in 1977 when he decelerated from 173 km/h (108 mph) to rest over a distance of 66 cm (26 inches) after his throttle got stuck wide open and he hit a wall.
Currently the 2018 F1 cars are possibly drawing as much as 8 g in certain high speed corners and the figures for braking and accelerating is also believed to be higher.
