Brake Force Distribution

In Simple Terms

F1 cars must have balanced braking power on both sides of each axle. This means the left and right brake pads must push equally hard on the brake disc to slow the car straight without pulling to one side. Any system that creates uneven braking forces is not allowed.

• Brake pads must apply equal opposing forces on brake discs
• Asymmetric braking torques (uneven braking between left and right sides) are forbidden
• This rule applies to each axle separately
• Equal braking ensures cars slow down in a straight line without veering
