The 2019 Formula 1 Bahrain GP according to Brembo
An in-depth look at the braking systems on the Formula 1 single-seaters at the Bahrain International Circuit
From March 29th to the 31st, the Bahrain International Circuit will host the 2nd round of the 2019 World Formula 1 #racing Championship. Located in the Sakhir desert, the circuit was designed by Hermann Tilke, and its construction cost 150 million dollars, most of which was necessary to create the asphalt bed.
Thanks to the installation of an artificial lighting system, since 2014 the Bahrain GP has been disputed at night. Despite this, ground temperature during the last editions has always ranged between 26 and 31 degrees.
These values translate into a significant mechanical grip. The presence of many high-energy impact brakings, what's more concentrated in the central area of the circuit, means high friction material wear.
To adapt to the 2019 single seaters, which yield higher performances than the previous years, #brembo technicians have increased the number of holes in the carbon discs and have created new calipers.
For each team, #brembo constructed ad hoc braking system that ensure optimal integration with the aerodynamic and mechanical characteristics of the cars.
The Middle-Eastern circuit is an extremely tough test bench for all the #components of the braking system, as shown by the difficulty index assigned by #brembo technicians. On a scale of 1 to 5, the Bahrain International Circuit earns a 4, making it one of the most challenging on brakes. Only Montreal, Mexico City, Abu Dhabi and Singapore rank higher.
