Once upon a time, there were Enzo Ferrari and Emilio Bombassei, two Italians who dreamed big and laid the foundations for what would become two legendary companies. Ferrari was founded in 1947, Brembo in 1961, and for the first time, in 1975, their paths crossed thanks to the supply of cast iron brake discs for the F1 single-seaters of the Prancing Horse team.
In those days, not even the most incurable optimist could have imagined that one of the longest-lasting partnerships in the history of the premier Motorsport competition was beginning.
Since then, the challenges have multiplied as the collaboration extended to the hydraulic components of the braking system, namely the brake calipers.
Today, Brembo supplies the entire braking system to Ferrari's F1 single-seaters and Hypercars, including hydraulic components (brake calipers and brake pumps) and friction components (carbon discs and pads) as well as the BBW system, providing solutions designed to meet the most extreme demands of modern competitions.
The start of the 2026 season marks an opportunity to retrace the history of this partnership through a series of numbers (updated at the end of the 2025 season) that are unparalleled in the history of Formula 1 and are likely unsurpassed in the rest of international motorsport competitions.
