In Valencia all the teams have increased the dimensions of their brake ducts, especially at the front. The reason for this is related to the very severe deceleration at the end of most of the track’s straights. This makes the new circuit particularly tough on brakes and the high ambient temperatures make cooling the discs and pads very difficult. To avoid overheating problems, Ferrari have moved to the larger version of the F2008’s ducts, only previously seen in Malaysia and Bahrain.
