You should look up the monocoque F1-cars use. They basically are a carbon case just around the driver which is designed to hodl of ridiculous forces from just about any direction. One can go as far as saying: there is pretty much no chance in hell that a F1-driver is somewhat crushed inside this monocoque.
So, the F1-cars are damn secure, and I do mean damn secure and while it is true that there are some fairly ugly accidents out there in the F1-world, one has to keep in mind: that is a car travelling at 200+kph and hits a wall. In about any other car, the driver would be dead. So, keep in mind: security in F1 is something else (Survive!) as security in regular street cars (get out of there without injuries).
