Brake bias is the distribution of braking force between the front and rear wheels of a car, a critical setting in motorsports that affects handling, stability, and performance under braking. In Formula 1 and other racing disciplines, drivers can adjust brake bias during a race to adapt to tire wear, fuel load changes, and varying track conditions. Typically, more braking force is applied to the front wheels since they bear the car’s weight transfer under deceleration. However, setting the brake
