F1’s technical regulations deliberately seek to limit design freedoms, but that hasn't stopped teams pushing hard to innovate wherever possible, with Red Bull's brake calipers a noteworthy example ⬇️
Brake systems are an area of constant development as teams attempt to reduce weight, improve heat dissipation and increase the car’s overall stopping performance.
The fairing is a means to help bridge the dimensional differences that had been created between the discs and the rim, while also offering a means of keeping the brakes within a certain temperature window to improve their performance. For the new RB19, Red Bull has overhauled the brake assemblies design once more, with the size of the disc fairing increased and its shape revised, while the caliper has been subject to some changes to reduce weight and improve cooling further still. The central ports, which grant the heat generated by the brake disc’s passage through the caliper, have been increased in size. Furthermore, an array of small tubes has been added that act like fins to keep temperatures under control .
