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...

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.
