Brembo unveils the use of its braking systems at the 2017 Formula One Monaco Grand Prix
From May 25 to 28, the Circuit de #monaco will host the 6th race of the 2017 World Formula 1 Championship. The track that winds through the streets of the principality of #monaco has hosted the most advanced single-seaters in the world without interruption since 1955, although the first Formula 1 GP was held here in 1950.
The proximity of the Armco barriers mandates that drivers perform with utmost precision: braking incorrectly, even by just one yard, could result in crashing into the guardrail and withdrawing from the race. For this reason, the braking systems have to work well all the way to the checkered flag. It isn't an easy task because each car is required to brake about 940 times during the GP.
Monaco is one of those tracks that stands out for a high aerodynamic load and a significant percentage of time spent braking, but these braking sections are not particularly intense. In spite of braking sections that are on average only slightly intense, this track is nonetheless demanding on the brakes, especially because of the high temperatures reached by the calipers and brake fluid.
In the past, the temperatures of the calipers and brake fluid reached exceptionally high levels, in some cases causing vapor lock when the liquid inside the caliper boils over. This led to increased pedal travel, which caused the brakes to respond more slowly.
Now, the work done by #brembo technicians to cool the brakes has alleviated those problems and the increase in the number of ventilation holes as of this year, going from 1,200 to 1,400, should offer extra security.
