Notice the breathing technique to keep your blood in your head. He might be wearing a g-suit also, which are inflatable pants that squeeze the blood out of your legs. I doubt it though.

blue angles... not wearing g-suits????? maybe your talking about your little toy plane with its action figure!!!??? sorry. but thats a bad rumor. my whole family are into aviation/pilots. have the ultimate respect for pilots. the red bull guys... almost god like and they now it!! as for g-suits, i would hope that the red bull pilots are or hopefully have to. at 9 plus g's its a must for survival. and it's only going to get faster as they grow with the sport. bless them all!!!!!!!

No dude, BA pilots don't wear g-suits. It's dangerous for them to fly so precisely and have something constantly moving on their legs. If they hit a pedal accidently, it could all be over.
