Lewis Hamilton's victory for McLaren-Mercedes in the British Grand Prix gave Messier-Bugatti's CARBON INDUSTRIE brakes their 250th win in Formula 1.
This milestone comes 24 years after the first Grand Prix victory for Messier-Bugatti and carbon/carbon brakes (Alain Prost, McLaren-TAG/Porsche, 1984 Brazilian GP).
Messier-Bugatti pioneered the use of carbon brakes in F1 in 1983, when they equipped Renault and McLaren. Since then, CARBONE INDUSTRIE brakes have been used in more than 400 Grands Prix and equipped 62% of the winning cars.
This season, CARBON INDUSTRIE brakes are supplied exclusively to McLaren and Williams. Certain other teams use the brakes at circuits, which are particularly demanding for braking performance, such as Montreal (Canada), Melbourne (Australia), Sakhir (Bahrain) and Monza (Italy).
CARBONE INDUSTRIE also supplies every F1 team with carbon clutch plates.
