F1 callipers go from this raw block of metal to these absolute masterpieces. And discs from looking like this, to a beautifully engineered piece of carbon.
Now, they’re expensive… the entire braking system, all the parts supplied by Brembo, costs just less than £100,000 – but, there's a good reason for that… They stop an F1 car from 200 mph to 60 in just 3 seconds.
But I wanted to understand HOW the world's most impressive brakes are actually made.
So, when I got access to Brembo – the company that supplies every single F1 team with brake callipers and half the grid with carbon brake discs – I had to go.
