They also have a rapid release system for replacing the pads so that they can be changed without removing the caliper. Two more braking moments than MotoGP The Formula 1 drivers use their brakes no fewer than 12 times on the Circuit of the Americas for just over 17.5 seconds per lap. MotoGP, on the other hand, due to the lower speed reached on the corners, uses the brakes 10 times per lap for a total 37 seconds. From the starting line to the checkered flag, each driver exerts a total load of 64.5 metric tons on the brake pedal. The 141 kg (310.9 lbs.) exerted on Turn 11 and the 136 kg (299.8 lbs.) on turn 12 are impressive, and required to reduce speed on both occasions by over 200 km/h (124 mph) using the brakes for 2.3 and 3 seconds. 141 kg (310.9 lbs.) for a braking point Of the 12 braking sections at the USA GP, four are classified as highly demanding on the brakes, 3 are of medium difficulty and the remaining five are light. The most demanding hard braking for the single-seaters is on the first corner where they go from over 313 km/h (194 mph) to 101 km/h (63 mph) in just 2.31 seconds and cover a distance of 114 meters (125 yards). The drivers are subjected to 4.7 kg of deceleration and apply a load of 141 kg (310.9 lbs.) on the pedal. And what about the video games? Braking uphill may seem to be easier than braking downhill but the risk is braking too early. To tackle the first corner at Austin in the right way, you need to look towards the left-hand side of the track: you'll see a big screen at right angles to the track. When you reach it, slam on the brakes and downshift at least 4 gears. After a couple of seconds, grip the steering wheel and almost blindly turn to the left. It's best to avoid the inner curb so that you don't upset the single-seater and can open up the throttle without any problems.
