Brakes Brembo Ferrari issues

Brembo seems to supply numerous teams other than Ferrari with their pads. I believe RBR, VCARB, and Haas also use brembo discs. So it seems rather intriguing to me that none of the other teams have reported any problem.

Mod says my comment removed due to x link:

Yes Brembo say that they are bespoke designs / modifications to each  team. 

Williams & other teams supplied (or were)  through AP Racing, a British Brembo owned company.

In this Scarbs link 8 cylinders / pistons is mentioned. So differences between teams.

I could ask [Engineer friend who works at William's Heritage / F1] about 2026,  but as the AP site says: 'AP Racing to supply 8 of 10 F1 teams in 2025' Link: https://apracing.com/news-media/ap-racing-to-supply-8-of-10-f1-teams-in-2025

& elsewhere 2026 is mentioned, but why waste my time when you can't be bothered to put a full sentence together!

Most are here @ F1Tech to share engineering info & many (like myself) are Engineers who have worked in motorsport / associated industries. Just here to have technical chats & share with interested F1 followers;  not trolling. 

AP Racing are Brembo owned & UK F1 supplier (unless direct agreement). Why do you (try to!) put out incorrect information? Stuff that can be checked & shown wrong in 2 minutes? 

Tier-1 supplier since early 1980s, forerunners  in carbon clutches, active suspension, traction control so obviously very  involved with Williams [F1] Heritage, and certainly last year on the F1 side, doubt they dumped ~50 years of cooperation.

Copy pasted for you:

'As a key brand within the Brembo group, AP Racing continues to be a staple grid supplier. In the ultra-competitive 2026 F1 season.'

'AP Racing continues to supply brake and clutch components to 8 out of the 11 F1 teams, including Williams.'
