The vast loadings/burdens

Question

The vast loadings/burdens that Formula one cars are capable of creating, anything up to a sustained 3.5 of cornering force, for example, means drivers have to be exceptionally strong to be able to last for full race distances.

HI,

Do both loadings and burdens fit in the above and mean about the same?
Besides is "anything" optional?
Last, does "cornering force" refer to the force caused by the race motor when running around a corner? Thanks.

No - burdens cannot replace loadings, which here has a technical meaning relating to the physical forces resulting from vehicle speed and weight.

Anything is not optional.

Yes, a vehicle corners when driven round a corner.

Do both loadings and burdens fit in the above and mean about the same? In the generic sense, yes (that is, one thing pressing against another); but this is addressed to a specialized community with a specialized language (technical, as Feebs says), and substitutions are probably out of order.

Besides is "anything" optional? I would say yes. (What happened to the units?? I assume we're talking about G's here.)

Last, does "cornering force" refer to the force caused by the race motor when running around a corner? All forces are caused indirectly by the motor, but I suspect we're talking here about inertial forces, or the opposing centrifugal and centripetal forces acting on the driver as his seat belt pulls on him with three-and-a-half times the force of gravity, keeping him from flying into the crowd. These G-forces would sometimes oppose his efforts to operate the controls.

Best wishes, - A.
