Nobody expects a Formula 1 Grand Prix auto race to end the way it did for Romain Grosjean on November 29, 2020, on the track in Bahrain. Driving at a speed of 119 miles per hour, his Haas VF-20 got hit by fellow driver Daniil Kvyat. It sent his car ramming into a guardrail, generating a peak gravitational force equivalent (G-force) of 67. For comparison’s sake, fighter pilots experience a G-force of about nine during their maneuvers. After Kvyat hit him, Grosjean knew the impact was coming .
