In 2024, Brembo has developed customized braking systems for each Formula 1 team, supplying most cars with hydraulic and friction components tailored to their needs. The carbon discs have seen significant evolution over the years, with increased diameters and various cooling hole configurations. Teams will use two types of carbon discs – wide spline and single-sided spline – based on their specific requirements, affecting disc ventilation and mechanical stress. Brembo will supply brake calipers to all 10 teams, with up to six pistons made of solid aluminum and nickel-plated. Additionally, Brembo and AP Racing will provide brake pumps to five teams, while Brembo will develop by-wire units for four teams to manage rear braking dynamics efficiently. Customization and telemetry play key roles in optimizing the brake systems for each team, enabling real-time monitoring and adjustments for optimal performance on the track.
