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.

There was a discussion of the 10 second limit to get out of the car with the Halo. Guess they did not think about a driver who was either knocked out or stunned for a moment. The impact was such a major impact for the brain that the driver was at lease stunned and then he had to deal with the fire. GREAT that he got out so quickly. GREAT for the Halo!
