Again, I've never ever seen a measure of pedal input to be anything other than newtons, travel or kgf. Pressure is generally always measured after the master cylinder for front or rear. Using a derived value is non-sensical when they could simply just refer to an actual measurement of pressure.they're probably got a sensor under the peddle before the master cylinder, they can't have a sensor after the cylinder because it will change drastically and then indicate to other teams how their brake pressure system is working etc.
it can be measured in anything that the system is designed for... psi is logical as its line pressure before the master cylinder, very easy to measure, just a gauge
There's a sensor on the hydraulic line between the caliper and master cylinder that measures hydraulic pressure, apart from the sensors on the BBW system. There's nothing that measures the pressure applied by his foot. If they'd said 60 bar, I'd understand, but I recall 60 psi which is peanuts - it's the amount used to put heat into the system. Sure it can slow the car down dramatically, but that's not news in F1.
They don't. You can google this stuff lol.

Did you even read 5803?of course they don't, you clearly know more than the FIA and all their data... do you think the FIA just guessed at 59.2 psi?
lol

Don't be a bully, you know he can't read.Did you even read 5803?
Gives us a chance to call him a dumbass on two accounts. Double the fun!What's funny is you guys entertaining vaal dam's alt account...
It's more likely, as @PCWARITM stated, that they meant BAR rather than PSI. You could also state it's possibly LBF (still less likely) but not KGF.of course they don't, you clearly know more than the FIA and all their data... do you think the FIA just guessed at 59.2 psi?
lol <--- fml

Although funny, it takes away from Hulk that he worked bloody hard to keep Lewis at bay. He put in the drive of his life, and Lewis didn't "let him" have P3.
I never mentioned the FIA. I just said you're a dumbass. So give me my own insult, don't lump me in with the other people.so now everyone on here thinks the FIA are wrong by says (59.2 psi of brake pressure) which is clearly written.
@Speedster @UrBaN963 @Mike Hoxbig <-- what a bunch of ****en *****
It's just comedy. Noone thinks he didn't deserve or was gifted that podium.Although funny, it takes away from Hulk that he worked bloody hard to keep Lewis at bay. He put in the drive of his life, and Lewis didn't "let him" have P3.
Bud, it's like high school math/science.so now everyone on here thinks the FIA are wrong by says (59.2 psi of brake pressure) which is clearly written.

I'm a little upset the McLaren drivers didn't drown Nico with champagne
Imho probably a maturity thing.Noticed this too, but I think Oscar was in a foul mood and Lando was in lala land after winning his home race. I bet if LH or Max was on that podium they would have let him have it,
