The unexpectedly cool weather conditions at Fuji did the teams no favours in terms of managing brake temperatures. Most were expecting to use relatively large brake cooling ducts, designed for dry-weather running in warmer temperatures. Sunday's rain and cooler temperatures, however, forced them to...»
