F1 brakes
I'm just having my brakes sorted with black diamond pads, braided hoses and decent fluid and while browsing around I came across this info which I thought was interesting

Interesting read, unbelievable stopping power, can see why F1 cars dont like wet tracks.

Very interesting...

What I find amazing, 186mph to zero in only 4 seconds... That is mind boggling

more than mind boggling!! Neck snapping. A few years ago, I was lucky!! enough to be a pasenger in the 2seater Minardi F1. The acceleration was bad enough, but when they slowed, just the reduction from the rear wing, then the brakes. They are just awesome...

This video shows the braking force of an F1 car on a passenger. Unfortunatley i cannot help but laugh my socks off every time he face plants the seat in front!
