The 2019 Formula 1 Hungarian GP according to Brembo

Formula 1 returns to the Hungaroring (Hungary) theater from August 2 to 4, for the 12th appointment in the 2019 World Championship. The Hungarian track was one of the great intuitions of Bernie Ecclestone: he was the person who wanted to take Formula 1 to Eastern Europe countries.​ At the Hungaroring only 3 braking areas are extended to 2 seconds and they are all concentrated in the part of the track that is visible from the main stand. Every lap the brakes are in operation for 17 and a half seconds, that is the equivalent of 23% of the length of the race. Only the Monaco GP (27%) and the Singapore GP (25%) has a higher percentage. ​Average deceleration per lap is 3.1 G, the same as at Le Castellet. The presence of so many bends results in the energy dissipated in braking being very high: 239 kWh, almost two times as much as Suzuka. ​From the start line to the chequered flag each rider puts a total pressure of 55.5 tons (122,357 lbs) on the brake pedal, among the highest in the World Championship 2019. ​A considerable effort for riders in addition to the high temperatures in this period. ​
