Almost one ton for the race​​

On each lap, riders have to use the brakes 11 times for a total of 33 seconds. This calculation also includes 3 braking sections (on turns 4, 7 and 10) where deceleration is lower than 28 km/h (17.4 mph) and the brakes are used for anywhere between 1.2 seconds and 1.5 seconds.

If we add up all the force a rider applies to the front Brembo brake lever from start to finish, the value exceeds 970 kg (2,138 lbs), one of the highest in the 2021 season. Basically, for every lap, each pilot has to apply a force of 39 kg (86 lbs), and that's just on the front. ​
