To date, Brembo cannot remember a driver who has used such a high hydraulic ratio as the one used by Ayrton Senna.
Does that mean he had the softest pedal with highest travel?

So basically ESP it is no longer as fast as using a manual gearbox because the driver has lost almost complete control over car balance on deceleration in pitch and yaw.
Hmm thinking about a new power train direction now.
