In Formula 1, drivers slam on the brakes at over 200 miles per hour, and in just four seconds, they come to a near stop.
That’s a deceleration so extreme it hits nearly 6G—enough force to make it almost impossible for a normal person to keep their head up.
And the brakes? They’re not just powerful—they can reach temperatures over 1000 degrees Celsius, about as hot as molten lava.
So, how do the brakes cope with such intense forces? And how does the braking system work?
To find out, I went behind the scenes with the Alpine F1 team to uncover the cutting-edge tech behind modern Formula 1 braking systems.
