The hardest braking point on the Yas Marina Circuit lies ahead of turn 8. The F1 driver decelerates sharply here by 264 km/h over just 133 metres. 2,026 kW of brake power are released in the process. The driver is subjected to 5.09 g and has to push with 129 kg onto the brake.
The hardest braking point on the Autódromo José Carlos Pace is in front of turn 1. The driver has to slow down around 226 km/h over just 135 meters. The calculated brake energy involved is 1,984 kW. The driver is subjected to 4.5 g, while he pushes with 107 kg onto the brake.
At Autódromo Hermanos Rodriguez he brakes very oftenAfter the race in the United States, Formula 1 remains in North America for the 19th round of the 2018 World Championship, scheduled from 26 to 28 October at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.The track is dedicated to the Rodriguez brothers, Ricardo and Pedro, both Formula 1 drivers who died prematurely due to track accidents.In Mexico, Brembo has three production plants, in Puebla, Apodaca and Escobedo: inaugurated 24 months ago, the latter covers an area of 35,000 square meters and is able to produce 2 million aluminum calipers per year.The 2,229 meters of altitude at which the circuit is located do not pose any problem for the braking system which is instead put to the test by the speed peaks: last year the Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel reached 362 km / h.In addition to the speeds, the temperatures of discs and calipers could affect the temperatures of the asphalt: last year in qualifying the 44 degrees were achieved.Furthermore, increasing the grip of the asphalt during the weekend usually involves an increase in the braking torque that can be downloaded to the ground.According to Brembo technicians, who have ranked the 21 tracks of the World Championship, Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez falls into the category of medium-demanding circuits for the brakes.
The hardest braking point on the Circuit of The Americas is in front of turn 1. The driver has to slow down around 233 km/h over just 140 meters. The calculated brake energy involved is 1,934 kW. The driver is subjected to 4.7 g, while he pushes with 115 kg onto the brake.
The hardest braking point on the Marina Bay Street Circuit is in front of turn 1. The driver has to slow down around 160 km/h over just 98 meters. The calculated brake energy involved is 1,932 kW. The driver is subjected to 4.8 g, while he pushes with 141 kg onto the brake.
