Bends 6 and 7 are the only consecutive ones where the driver needs to apply a load of more than 100 kg (220 lbs.) on the brake pedal. On the other hand, three bends involve a deceleration of at least 4 G, although the maximum peak is 4.1 G, as in the Qatar GP. From the starting line to the checkered flag, each driver exerts an overall load of 67 metric tons (74 tons) on the brake pedal. A drop of 230 km/h (143 mph) in 2.7 seconds Of the nine braking sections at the Mexican GP, three are classified as very demanding on the brakes, two are of medium difficulty, and the other four are light. The most difficult one is the first after the starting line, because the single-seaters have reached 343 km/h (213 mph) on the long straight and need to brake to 113 km/h (70 mph) in 2.68 seconds while covering a distance of 147 meters (161 yards). For the drivers, the effort is enormous, 4.1 G and a load of 128 kg (282 lbs.) on the brake pedal. And in video games? To face the first bend of the Mexican GP without problems in the Formula 1 video game, just pay attention to the details on the left-hand side of the track. After passing underneath the advertising banners, you'll see a purple ad on the pit wall and then the curb just after that. Bring the left-hand wheels up onto the curb then, after passing the 150-meter (164 yard) sign, start braking and drop to third gear while aiming for the inside of the bend. •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-G4Cl0gJoiF •The video can also be consulted at the YT link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk5Rv3sPTf8 •The comment of the Mexico Grand Prix according to Brembo, in web format: https://www.brembo.com/en/company/news/2023-formula-1-mexico-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
