Six to three between the two halves Even if it is the third shortest track in the World Championship, the brakes are used nine times on the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. They are used for a total of 15.7 seconds per lap by each driver which amounts to 20 percent of the total duration of the race, even if the brakes are used only three times in the second half of the track. There are a total of three braking sections where the brakes are used for at least 2.1 seconds, even if the turns vary a great deal, on Turn 4, for example, it takes 4.5 G of deceleration to reduce the speed by 225 km/h (140 mph) in 126 meters (413 feet). The load applied by each driver on the brake pedal from start to finish exceeds 72 metric tons. A third of speed on the first corner Of the nine braking sections at the Mexican GP, four are classified as very demanding on the brakes, two are medium difficulty, and the other three are light. The most difficult one is the first corner after the starting line, because the single-seaters take advantage of the long straight section and go at over 350 km/h (217 mph). Reducing their speed by two thirds to 113 km/h (70 mph) takes 2.61 seconds and they cover a distance of 142 meters (155 yards). The drivers have to use a considerable amount of force: 4.5 G and 138 kg (304 lbs.) of load on the brake pedal. And what about the video games? To effortlessly tackle the first corner in the Mexican GP in the Formula 1 video game, don't panic if acceleration seems endless. There's a blue pickup with a bucket over the fencing on the left-hand side. As soon as you reach this vehicle, start braking, downshift five or more gears and when you reach the last lamppost with reflectors, move the car onto the inside going up onto the curb if necessary. •The circuit identity card with all the information on all the braking sections, in .pdf format: https://mediakit.brembo.com/index.php/circuits/f1-2022#english •The video of the hardest braking point of the GP, in mp4 format with also social format adapted (low and high resolution): https://we.tl/t-n2GFhdjua1 The video can also be consulted at the YT link: https://youtu.be/psenqhSoaeQ •The comment of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix according to Brembo, in web format: https://www.brembo.com/en/company/news/formula-1-mexico-gp-brembo-brakes •The brakes performance comparison between 2021 Formula 1 single seaters in Mexico and 2022 Formula 1 single seaters in Mexico.
