It didn't say exactly, but I would venture to guess that it was pretty short:

"Data showed the Pole impacted against the wall at 230 km/h, and the G-forces on Kubica peaked at around 75 G in a millisecond."

The data logger is behind the driver, under the fuel cell, so his body would have decelerated much more slowly due to belt stretch etc.
