That carry's a bit more weight...
That's a little misleading. Red Bull runs Brembo calipers and, I believe, an AP clutch. The teams running AP calipers are, afaik; Williams, Lotus, Force India, Caterham, and Marussia. Basically, half of the teams run Brembo calipers, almost half of the teams run AP calipers (also Brembo, technically), and McLaren are a bunch of weirdos (Akebono). The disc suppliers are more diverse, with several teams being supplied by aerospace contractors like Messier-Bugatti and Hitco instead of Brembo/AP.
