The brakes used on F1 cars are carbon, not ceramic if I'm not mistaken. They need to get very hot to work properly.

The wheel size limiting braking was something that was put it place a long time ago when F1 brakes were very different.

I'm not sure if enlarging the rotors and brakes will give improvement, with today's brakes and materials. Maybe they might be a lot lighter.

What is FRIC?
