How long have they used them though? I know that they currently do (gotta love Autoweek, recent article on the Ferrari sports car that's using carbon fiber brakes in an upgrade package).

Haha why does the article make comparisons to NASCAR? When do they use the brakes except to pit?

They use plently of brakes at their smaller and less-banked courses. Not every Nascar race is at Daytona Speedway.

They're also heavy as hell. It would be smarter for them to have reduced heat and such on their rotors as opposed to quicker braking. Just think about their weight, speed, and overall momentum. Not easy to slow down...

At least since 1999, when I've been religiously following the sport.
The Suspension link which I have posted has some posts about that Ferrari sports car.
But, the F1 cars do NOT use cross-drilled rotors.

As much as I want to laugh with you, they do race on road race circuits - i.e. Sears Point.
