Even if the brakes are used on all of the first six turns after the start, the load on the brake pedal is low and does not even reach 70 kg (154 lbs.) peak. It is no surprise that the total load exerted on the brake pedal by drivers from start to finish is 52 metric tons (57.3 t). Overall, on one lap, the brakes are used for just over 12.5 seconds which amounts to 14 percent of the duration of the race. 208 km/h (129 mph) less in 105 meters (115 yards) Of the 12 braking points at the Suzuka International Racing Course, only two are considered demanding on the brakes, three are of medium difficulty and the remaining seven are light. The most challenging by far is Turn 16 where the cars go from 304 km/h to 96 km/h (189 mph to 60 mph) in just 105 meters (115 yards). During the 2.29 seconds when the brakes are in use, the drivers apply a 144 kg (317 lbs.) load on the pedal and are subject to a peak deceleration of 4.8 G. And what about the video games? If you complete turn 130R perfectly, you will come onto Turn 16 at very high speed. To slow down correctly in the Formula 1 video game, keep your eye on the walls, which are easier to spot than the signs with the distance from the turn. When the tricolor stripe becomes 'Pirelli' on the wall on the right, it is a sign of the 150 meters (164 yards) from the corner entry. Before the advertising bridge, there is a tire that indicates 100 meters (109 yards) and it is here that you have to start braking.
