After a year off, the Mexican GP returns to the Formula 1 World Championship. According to Brembo technicians, the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is classified as one of the most demanding tracks for brakes on a scale of 1 to 5, it is rated 5 on the difficulty index, the same as the Yas Marina Circuit.
Unlike the other components, the record height above sea level of the track does not affect the braking system which is subjected to very high-top speeds: in three parts of the track, the single seaters go over 330 km/h (205 mph) before having to brake very hard.
