The extremely smooth flowing of the track is confirmed by the presence of only one turn where braking lasts more than 2 seconds and just four turns with a stopping distance of only 55 meters (180.4 feet). Three braking moments, on the other hand, require a load on the brake pedal of over 100 kg (220 lbs.) and yet from the start to the finish, each driver exerts a force of 61.5 metric tons, almost the same as the Austrian GP. 191 km/h (118.6 mph) less with 141 kg (310.9 lbs.) of load Of the nine braking sections at the Dutch GP, two are classified as highly demanding on the brakes, three are of medium difficulty and the remaining four are light. The most difficult braking is on the first turn because the cars come off a 1.1 km (0.69 mile) straight with no braking on the last turn. The single-seaters hit the brakes at 310 km/h (192 mph) and drop to 118 km/h (73 mph) in just 119 meters (390.4 feet). To do this, the drivers brake for 2.28 seconds, applying a load of 141 kg (310.9 lbs.) on the brake pedal and experiencing 4.7G of deceleration. And what about the video games? Tackling Corner 1 on the Circuit Zandvoort in the Formula 1 video game is fairly easy: start braking as soon as you pass the 100 m sign. Move down into third gear and gradually move over onto the inside so that you just touch the curb without going up onto it. Since it is a hairpin, there is no need to open the throttle immediately, wait a few seconds and make sure you discharge the braking torque when coming out of the turn. •The circuit identity card with all the information on all the braking sections, in .pdf format: https://mediakit.brembo.com/index.php/circuits/f1-2023 •The video of the hardest braking point of the GP, in mp4 format (low and high resolution): https://we.tl/t-Ywi2w0bfJW •The video can also be consulted at the YT link: https://youtu.be/luMOYTfNuus •The comment of the Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix according to Brembo, in web format: https://www.brembo.com/en/company/news/2023-formula-1-dutch-gp-brembo-brakes •The video that presents in detail the characteristics of the Brembo braking systems functionality on a Formula 1 single-seater, that you can download at the following link: https://mediakit.brembo.com/index.php/brembo-continues-to-be-the-braking-systems-leader-in-the-2023-formula-1-championship#videos
