Just shows you how safe F1 is. He's responsive and he got out the car without a scratch afterwards, racing again the next day.

Same crash, different POV.
Also the crash registered as 20G's.

The peak G value is a pretty meaningless one. Dropping a pen on your table subjects the pen to a peak of several thousand Gs.
You're comparing the peak G of a few grams to that of about 700kgs..?
Really?

Acceleration is not depending on mass.

F=m*a ?

Yes, acceleration is a fixed ratio between the Force acting on a mass and the mass, (a = F/m).
What I originally tried to say though is that the acceleration itself doesn't mean shit without a duration. The driver won't even feel the 20G, because he only gets accelerated with 20G for a really short amount of time.

You are correct, and I think it's called [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse_%28physics%29"]Impulse[/URL].

Ok, this I understand. For some reason I guess I misread what you were trying to say, my bad.
This seemed to be a very lucky crash though.
His trajectory got maybe a littlebit violently changed, but there was no sudden stopping, he didnt hit the ground, etc.
Overall looks like he got subjected to relatively low g-forces there. (for a crash)

However, if he hit the barrier straight on, we'd be hearing a different story.

Not really, F1 cars are EXTREMELLY safe now, if he hit the barrier straight on he'd still be pretty much fine.
IE Robert Kubica's crash in Canada he hit the concrete barrier head on, survived that too.
Usually what kills an F1 driver nowadays is a detached part of the suspension or wheel coming loose in a collision and impaling or impacting the driver.
I still remember that one time when Massa got hit from a detached tyre to his head.
Still was suprised to see him alive after 3-4 months.
