According to Brembo engineers, the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve falls into the category of circuits of medium difficulty for brakes. On a scale of 1 to 5, it was rated a 3, identical to the Barcelona track where races will be held in one week.
The F.1 cars made their début on this track last year. The frequent unevenness of the circuit can be a critical issue, due to the loss of grip that can have an impact on the braking system, although not severely.
