The first thing you\u2019ll notice is that there\u2019s not one, but two master cylinders. In F1 cars, there\u2019s one for the front brakes, and one for the rear. They\u2019re mounted on a pivoting fork that\u2019s used to adjust brake bias, which is pretty genius.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>The wild engineering behind this absurdly powerful braking system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Formula 1 brakes are some of the most incredible pieces of tech on the planet.
