A big part of braking so „fast“ are the aerodynamics, pressing the car to ground therefore increasing the pressure possible to break and of course the insane grip of slick tires, so it’s not all down to some magical brakes, I find it more wow that they can last so long
SimRaceHQ, you’re not wrong in pointing this out. But you do still have to realize that the brakes still need to transfer all of that kinetic energy into heat and do it quickly which is amazing. Keep in mind 200mph to zero doesn’t take twice the energy as 100mph to zero, it takes 4 times the energy.
@@JohannGambolputty22 Well those brakes are braking a very light F1 car (even though almost 2x the weight at 100mph). It takes exactly the same energy dissipation to brake 2.4 tons car from 100mph to 0 as to brake 600kg F1 car (without downforce) from 200mph to 0 and all that during the same time interval (regular car brakes from 100mph to 0 in roughly 4s).
Pera Kojot, I understand it’s not about total energy. Physics doesn’t care if you’re trying to brake a 600kg car or a 600kg ice cream truck. The total amount of heat energy created will always be the same (most things considered) Of course there’s more that goes into braking specifically downforce, cooling and especially tires and track conditions. It doesn’t make the carbon ceramic fiber identical in ability per braking foot as a steel brake rotor on a family sedan. Braking from 200mph to 4 seconds is exciting and impressive to watch regardless. My apologies if I made it seem like heat diffusion was the only factor at play but the reason the stopping time are less are definitely assisted with the carbon brakes ability to still function at such high heat levels over a short amount of time versus steel rotors. Furthermore, and very importantly, the vehicles ability to do it over and over on a track is a lot different then a single panic stop on a family car.
@@JohannGambolputty22 There are 3 things that differ high performance brakes (i.e. F1, supercar, etc) and regular car brakes. 2 of those have impact of stopping distance/time, one doesn't. Size of breaking disk/pads is one, number of pistons in a caliper is two and material and construction of braking disk and pads is 3. Material and construction of braking disk and pads doesn't play a role with the stopping distance, i.e. non-ventilated steel disk with regular high quality pads will have almost the same stopping power as carbon disk with ceramic pads (difference probably negligible). With respect to first two things, any kind of truck will essentially have more powerful brakes than an F1 car. Ventilated steel or carbon disks and ceramic pads help brakes retain their performance much longer under big load. Regular steel disks and pads are perfectly capable of one or two emergency brakings even from 200mph. And by far the most dominant reason why F1 car can brake so quickly is downforce. Second reason are sticky tyres. I could say that these two play a role of 90%. Everything else related to the brakes is only 10%.
The duration of the high levels of G loads is what really matters, those peak G forces are seen only for a short time like maybe on turns or worse when coming to a sudden stop from hitting a wall (where the G load is extremely high but lasts for a split second). If they were to sustain the same peak loads for the whole race, it won't be likely for any human to come out of that in decent shape assuming they don't go unconscious.
So awesome! I was a mechanic for 20 years and recently was trying to explain Brakes to my son, who loves F1 like me, and needed to spend almost a thousand dollars getting his own brakes fixes while away at College. I just sent this to him and now he will really be able to understand! Thank you!
The girth of the pads and rotor are absolutely astonishing even when compared to the huge brakes on many hi performance passenger cars and the F1 car weights significantly less. This definitely puts physics into perspective! I would love to see a detailed breakdown of current F1 brakes.

5thgearouttahere yes you are correct and it’s very expensive method too. And sadly it’s not worth even putting on a road car because it deteriorated faster and requires immense heat to work and the biggest down side is that their friction coefficient would be greater than any road tyre.

Love the way you ask for subscribers. Alot better than other videos in your face about it. I for one subed for it also due to interest on the topic. Keep it up good content!
Great video and wonderful series of videos! One correction: racing brake lines do not use rubber linings. The reason is, a rubber lining allows too much expansion/flex in the line, resulting in a soft pedal and unpredictable modulation point. Racing brake lines use a Teflon liner which does a great job at limiting the amount of expansion/flex under severe pressure, resulting in a very clean and predictable modulation point.
Temperature managment. The Pirelli tyres have a pretty narrow temperature window where they work properly. So teams started to use the rims as heat sinks to keep the typre temperatures better under control.

@@Sk1ds87 The video you sent me literally says how it could. It's a bit out dated now but it's not just some random idea a guy came up with and used for no reason.
1. Nothing glows at anywhere near 100 deg. Celsius. Try 1,000 deg. for the deep orange color shown. 2. F1 cars need far more than brake discs to achieve 5g. They need a huge amount of downforce from the car's aerodynamics. Without that, the tires would lose grip at a little over 1g. 3. 200-0 in 4 secs. is an average of 2.3g. The higher g-forces are only achievable at the upper end of the speed range, when downforce is at a maximum. Other than that ...
I've always been curious about the mechanic systems of F1 cars and was never able to get great information like this. Amazing technology very well explained in this video.
Had a hard week and this was just what I needed after this day to make it a bit better . Formula video + listening to the music I like (Delta Parole, Metallica and other) make me feel the speed and excitement!
8:30 We all know you meant to say "one thousand degrees Celsius" and you were aided by type on the bottom, but this is something that should have been rectified end re-edited before it went in the air. Just saying. Great video, nevertheless.
Your video is incredible! My first language is not English, so for me is quit hard to understand technical names, but you explained so well I am surprise I understand how a F1 brake works. Thank you so much!
Floating not just for expansion, but to allow the disc to move independent to the hub. If you ride a curb the hub deflect. Without a floating disc, the disc will push back on the pistons giving a long pedal for the first contact after riding the curb. If the disc floats, the hub can deflect and the disc remains constrained to its original axis.
Incredible to see that the working principle of the brake system of an F1 car is pretty much identical to that a shifter kart, just with an additional caliper at the rear. Fancy materials and fabrication processes aside it is about as high tech as a bottle opener. Love it though! Means the driver actually still has to make the difference (at least when it comes to breaking).
I think the most interesting part of an F1 car's braking system is the part that most wouldn't consider part of a braking system at all, the aero. The fact that F1 cars produce so much downforce that it actually allows the drivers to adopt a different driving style where you mash the brake and slowly taper off as you get to lower speeds and lose the downforce is super interesting to me. The cars are being pushed to the ground so hard, and have so much extra grip, that you can essentially take advantage of pretty much all of the brake's capabilities without worrying as much about a lock up until you lose the downforce. As a auto/driving enthusiast, I'm no professional, but i take it pretty seriously, even if it's just for fun, and all the cars I've driven require you're "typical" braking techniques. I've never driven a modern F1 car in real life, or any high aero car for that matter, but even in a sim like rfactor or assetto corsa, the difference in technique is somewhat mind bending at first and completely the opposite of what you would be used to braking into a corner, and it's fascinating when you understand why. It's like when my friends who have only driven rwd cars on windy roads, then try to drive my modified Golf GTI on the same road.
I thought this was going to be a boring video because I know how a brake system works on a street car/truck but it turned out to be a very interesting video. What amazing tech goes into the fastest motorsport in the world.
I think you should have explained the lock up at start a bit better for guys who aren't racing/car savvy, that the difference between cold brakes and tires and warm brakes and tires is so magnificent that they lock up because they literally go from having nothing to everything (in brake friction) in such a short time that it is like hitting a brick wall. Otherwise good video, you have earned another subscriber.
I was surprised that the system was little different in size and construction apart from the high quality materials used to a high performance road car. Surprised they haven’t devised some sort of airbrake system. Top video’s, carry on.🇦🇺

I've always been curious about the mechanic systems of F1 cars and was never able to get great information like this. Amazing technology very well explained in this video.
Braking failure would really suck on an F1 car.
@statorworks 345 woah that was crazy! That's a pucker up moment right there! Thanks for sharing that link
Great way to explain the F 1 brakes !! that steering wheel looks so complicated .. allot buttons probably will take time for learning everything .
100c that was funny 😄
Had a hard week and this was just what I needed after this day to make it a bit better . Formula video + listening to the music I like (Delta Parole, Metallica and other) make me feel the speed and excitement!
8:33 you mean ...up to and over 1000 oC
I only just discovered this channel and I’m absolutely enthralled!!!!!! Great videos!!!!!😎
8:30 We all know you meant to say "one thousand degrees Celsius" and you were aided by type on the bottom, but this is something that should have been rectified end re-edited before it went in the air. Just saying. Great video, nevertheless.
Your video is incredible! My first language is not English, so for me is quit hard to understand technical names, but you explained so well I am surprise I understand how a F1 brake works. Thank you so much!
How about we put those brakes in a normal car, see what happens
Potato very bad things would happen lol
immediate lockup lol, by far the biggest difference between f1 and normal cars (and pretty much any other class of motorsport) is the grip
Dang bro you just earned a like and a sub, you really deserve more likes, views, and more popularity. This video is amazing 🙏.
Floating not just for expansion, but to allow the disc to move independent to the hub. If you ride a curb the hub deflect. Without a floating disc, the disc will push back on the pistons giving a long pedal for the first contact after riding the curb. If the disc floats, the hub can deflect and the disc remains constrained to its original axis.
First time i actually sub and ring the bell. Looking forward to the next episodes, this is great stuff
Awesome content, really glad that i subscribed to this channel.
Carbon carbon is what’s used on the US space shuttle discovery’s wings in order to fight off the massive amount of heat when entering the atmosphere
It isn't just carbon carbon.
Wow
Great video
Looking forward for the rest of the series
Incredible to see that the working principle of the brake system of an F1 car is pretty much identical to that a shifter kart, just with an additional caliper at the rear. Fancy materials and fabrication processes aside it is about as high tech as a bottle opener. Love it though! Means the driver actually still has to make the difference (at least when it comes to breaking).
Great job buddy! All the best in making your videos.
Really a well done explanation about the basic of braking science.
Congratulations, I've appreciated this video quite much 😁
Really good. Simple but incredibly refined. It’s funny how so often paring things down to their minimum makes them better, isn’t it?
The different size pistons is really interesting, thanks for sharing!
I think the most interesting part of an F1 car's braking system is the part that most wouldn't consider part of a braking system at all, the aero. The fact that F1 cars produce so much downforce that it actually allows the drivers to adopt a different driving style where you mash the brake and slowly taper off as you get to lower speeds and lose the downforce is super interesting to me. The cars are being pushed to the ground so hard, and have so much extra grip, that you can essentially take advantage of pretty much all of the brake's capabilities without worrying as much about a lock up until you lose the downforce. As a auto/driving enthusiast, I'm no professional, but i take it pretty seriously, even if it's just for fun, and all the cars I've driven require you're "typical" braking techniques. I've never driven a modern F1 car in real life, or any high aero car for that matter, but even in a sim like rfactor or assetto corsa, the difference in technique is somewhat mind bending at first and completely the opposite of what you would be used to braking into a corner, and it's fascinating when you understand why. It's like when my friends who have only driven rwd cars on windy roads, then try to drive my modified Golf GTI on the same road.
I literally just took a second to subscribe and then you politely asked me if I would. My pleasure to do so, great channel.
Thanks Richard!
I thought this was going to be a boring video because I know how a brake system works on a street car/truck but it turned out to be a very interesting video. What amazing tech goes into the fastest motorsport in the world.
I think you should have explained the lock up at start a bit better for guys who aren't racing/car savvy, that the difference between cold brakes and tires and warm brakes and tires is so magnificent that they lock up because they literally go from having nothing to everything (in brake friction) in such a short time that it is like hitting a brick wall.
Otherwise good video, you have earned another subscriber.
I always wondered how changing braking balance worked mechanically, thanks for the upload.
I'm so surprised it's two cylinders. I would have guessed one and a proportioning valve.
Fabulous channel. Great explanations for the F1 nerds among us.
Invaluable content, keep it going!
The Brembo F1 brake system you describe started with Auto Parts - a UK firm that sold to Brembo in 1970. It will have been much modified since....
Definitely fascinating. I'm looking forward to viewing your entire series on the car.
I was surprised that the system was little different in size and construction apart from the high quality materials used to a high performance road car. Surprised they haven’t devised some sort of airbrake system. Top video’s, carry on.🇦🇺
F1 Drivers are constantly on their toes. They have cat like reflexes. Very incredible.
thats a great video and your explanation is awesome you are trying to explain all mechanisms thats great. year ago i saw your video f1 gearbox thats great and been waiting for nxt video and here it is, any where i just saw animations but your showing us in reality thats great. very much thankfull to you for sharing this great knowledgable content
Nico Rosberg just did a Hungary track guide and he talked about changing brake bias between corners. Thanks for explaining how it's done.
