Also, just now (29 August 2020), Lewis obliterated that record once more with his monstrous Mercedes-AMG F1 W11 EQ Performance! He achieved a new lap record with an 1:41.252 (!!), more than half a second quicker than Neel Jani. Furthermore, Valtteri Bottas in the second Mercedes was also slightly quicker.

This is something that could actually have a huge impact on a lap time as it was mentioned in this video that the g forces in the Porsche reached upwards of 4g on the driver's head and neck.

Racing drivers are having it worse even though they statisticly need to endure lower G-Forces. Reason you may ask? In a Car, the G-Forces mainly constrain the Y-axis (Horizontal/to left and right) and X-axis (Horizontal/to front and rear) while Fighter Pilots mainly edure Z-axis (Vertical/on Up and Down). On Z-axis force your Spine and Neck are stabalycing you, on X and Y your muscles have to take over that part.

One day he chapped a door and offered his services. 'Sure' the owner answered 'you can paint my porch if you like. I've never liked the colour. There's some paint in the garage, just knock the door when your done'. Excited and eager as always, William got straight to it , and less than an hour passed before he knocked on the door again. 'Finished already!' the woman exclaimed 'Wait a minute, the porch looks exactly the same!' 'Tis not dear lass! And if ya look at it I did a grand job too!' he proclaimed, pointing at the Porsche sitting in the driveway.
