Brembo S p A : In the Portuguese F1 GP, Brembo brakes in action for 14 seconds

Braking distances never greater than 122 meters (400 feet)​

The F.1 drivers use the brakes for just under 14 seconds per lap, which is 17 percent of total race time. In Barcelona, on the other hand, which is similar in length (just 22 meters/72 feet longer), the brakes are in action for almost a full second more, thanks to the presence of 8 braking sections, as compared to 7 on the Portuguese track.

Even though it has 15 turns, the brakes are used for more than 2 seconds only on 3 of them and, partly due to the high speeds the current F.1 cars reach on corners, in only one case does braking result in a drop in speed of at least 190 km/h (118 mph). The braking distances, on the other hand, are all between 83 and 122 meters (272 and 400 feet), while the load on the brake pedal ranges from a minimum of 83 kg (183 lbs) to a maximum of 135 kg (297.6 lbs). ​
