After Qin Miao managed to overtake Zhou Guanyu on the curve, he let out a long sigh of relief, because the brakes on his Ferrari 488GTB were also showing signs of heat fade due to prolonged driving.
In another five or six laps, the brake efficiency would plummet.
At this point, some people might be curious: why is it that a sports car like the 488GTB, which is supposed to be track-ready, would have brake problems after just a dozen laps?
Doesn't Ferrari's craftsmanship and workmanship account for this?
This is where you misunderstand Ferrari.
The brakes and tires of the 488GTB are actually quite suitable for the track; in fact, you could say the 488GTB was designed and crafted specifically for the track.
But the thing is, even the people at Ferrari never expected someone to take a 488GTB out on a Formula 1 grade track like Shanghai, let alone have it driven by two world-class F1 drivers who'd be pushing it to the limit and battling it out the entire time.
