In Montreal, the brakes in particular are under extreme strain. No matter what the conditions, your brakes have to work perfectly. Drivers have to be able to rely on them absolutely. The Gilles Villeneuve Circuit features several full-speed stretches where the drivers work the brakes really hard. The Brembo engineers know it well: just before the start-finish straight of the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit the drivers really have their work cut out. They’ve got to slow down by almost 190 km/h. In just 2 seconds! The force: 4.2 G.
