    1. This is Gabriel Bortoleto in this years Brazilian Grand Prix. The aerial view is just as scary.

      How fast you go from 190 to zero is what fucks you up.

      In a big F1 smash you’re looking at 50-70 g for a moment. That’s like your body suddenly weighing five or six tonnes and your organs all trying to leave at once.

    4. His car was momentarily airborne during that spin… that’s the scariest part. Airborne at that speed. No thank you

      What always shocks me about these videos (as the most casual of motorsport spectators) is that visually there are no obvious clues that grip is about to disappear and send you into a wall.

    6. So what caused this crash? He’s just moving over to get around that car ahead and boom. Why?
