October kicks off with the first of three consecutive Formula 1 rounds: the Singapore Grand Prix. On the Marina Bay Street Circuit, illuminated by the spectacular skyline of the Asian metropolis, one of the most visually striking and demanding events of the year takes place.
Grand Prix data
According to Brembo engineers, who collaborate with all Formula 1 teams, the Marina Bay Street Circuit (4.940 meters long) ranks among the most severe tracks for braking systems. On a scale from 1 to 5, it received a difficulty rating of 4: brakes are used 11 times per lap for over 17 seconds in total, including 5 Hard braking zones, 3 Medium, and 3 Light.
In seven corners, drivers face deceleration exceeding 4 g, exerting a pedal load of over 125 kg.
The toughest corner
The most challenging point for the brakes is turn 7, known as the “Memorial,” near the monument dedicated to the civilian victims of World War II. Here, the cars slow from 308 km/h to 128 km/h in just 1.9 seconds, covering 96 meters. Deceleration reaches 4.9 g, the pedal load peaks at 151 kg, and braking power hits 2,542 kW.
