Brake Circuits and Pressure Distribution

In Simple Terms

Every F1 car must have one brake system with a single pedal that controls two separate circuits: one for the front wheels and one for the rear wheels. The rear brakes must be powerful enough to produce 2500Nm of torque on their own, without any help from the engine.

• Single pedal operates two independent brake circuits for redundancy and safety
• Front circuit controls front wheels, rear circuit controls rear wheels
• Rear brakes must generate 2500Nm of torque independently without Power Unit assistance
• Dual circuit design ensures braking capability if one circuit fails
