Formula 1 is back in the United States for the 19th race of the 2019 World Championship from November 1 to 3 at Circuit of the Americas. Located in the hills overlooking the center of Austin, Texas, this track was designed by Hermann Tilke according to recommendations by Kevin Schwantz. The Formula 1 drivers use their brakes on only 9 of the 20 corners, which is three less than the MotoGP riders. The grip guaranteed by the four tires means the cars don't need to brake on turns 3, 6 and 16. To complete one lap on the Austin track, the brakes on each Formula 1 car are applied for 17 seconds, compared to the 37 seconds the MotoGP bikes need. On average during the United States GP, the Formula 1 cars apply their brakes for 16 minutes, which is 19% of the overall duration of the race.The average peak deceleration per lap is 3.8 G, but there are four corners where this gets up to at least 4.7 G. The energy dissipated in braking throughout the GP by one single-seater however, is high: 220 kWh, which is the same of the Bahrain GP. Instead the load applied to the brake pedal by each driver from the starting line to the checkered flag is not among the heaviest in the World Championship: 51.3 tons, which is a quarter less that of the Singapore GP. In other words, each driver is required to apply a force of about 0.546 tons (1,204 lbs) for every minute of driving.
Drawing on the experience and expertise of its technicians, Brembo has created a series of infographics, to illustrate the main components of Brembo brake systems used in F1, comparable to the same Brembo products for road cars and bikes. Have a look at Brembo Animated Graphics for 2019 Formula 1 Grand Prix of Mexico.
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.

An in-depth look at the braking systems on the Formula 1 single-seaters at Marina Bay Street Circuit.Finishing the European tour with the Monza race, Formula 1 moves to Asia for the 15th competition in the 2019 World Championship, being held September 20 to 22 on the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore.Stage for the first night-time GP held in Formula 1 in September 2008 and the 800th GP overall, the track is carved out of Marina Bay streets that are usually open to busy traffic.The track was designed by architect Hermann Tilke and was changed first in 2009 then in 2013 when the chicane at turn 10 was eliminated.A third and final revision took place in 2015 when corrections were made to turns 11, 12 and 13.
