Brembo S p A : Not much braking with Formula 1 racing at Monza, but thrilling all the same

Up to 1,480 ventilation holes for Formula 1 discs ​​

​​

Each driver can choose from six different Brembo front disc solutions depending on the temperatures expected during the Grand Prix and the specific race strategy. There is the medium cooling option with 800 holes, high cooling with 1,250 holes and very high cooling with 1,480 holes. Each of these then offers a sub-option with a process on the outer diameter - the so-called groove.

In the case of very high cooling, the holes are arranged in seven different rows, in the intermediate case in six rows and the other case in four rows. They measure 2.5 millimeters in diameter each and are precision-machined individually. It takes 12-14 hours to punch all the holes on a single disc. The mechanical component tolerance is only four hundredths.
