I'd imagine the NFL players get a lot more frequent heavy hits. I'd say most F1 drivers go through a season without a big crash (is it 25G that's the threshold for a medical centre visit?). Whereas I'm sure an NFL player will go through a fair number of hits in and around that region (at least according to the rugby article above) per game

Regarding bodily constraint, I’ve read that one of the issues with grid iron football is that there’s no way of preventing the brain from jiggling around inside the skull in an impact (although proper hydration helps). I wonder what the stats are for race drivers and long term brain injury?
