The comments on the 2019 Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix according to Brembo

​​​​The 21st and last race of the Formula 1 World Championship is scheduled for November 29th to December 1st at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. The track is on the man-made island of the same name, next to Ferrari World, in the area north-west of the capital of the United Arab Emirates.​ Even though there are 21 corners, the drivers only use their brakes 11 times each lap.Only the city track in Singapore ​has more braking points: 15.The brakes are used for a total of almost 18.5 seconds each lap, which equals 17 minutes over the course of the whole race, 19% of the GP. ​The average peak deceleration per lap is 3.7 G, but taking into account just the first 11 corners, the average exceeds 4.6 G, a figure never approached in the remaining turns.​The energy dissipated during braking in the whole GP from each single-seater is 242 kWh, which is quite similar to the Hungarian GP. ​From the starting line to the checkered flag, each driver exerts a total load of 53.5 ​tons on the brake pedal.On the single lap though, the load exceeds 970 kg.​
