“The straightaways are the boring bits between the corners," is a famous quote from Stirling Moss. The allure of #formula1 comes from its corners because it's nearly impossible to find two the same. Even when the angle, the slope and the turn-in speed of the single-seaters appear similar, there are other variables that differ like the grip and the temperature of the tarmac.
All of these factors significantly influence the stress the braking systems are under. Since each circuit is a story unto itself, the #brembo technicians, who work in close contact with the top #formula1 teams, have ranked the 20 World Championship tracks. To do the ranking, they used a scale from 1 to 10 which is directly proportional to the amount of stress the different tracks place on the brakes.
