I know most teams can change pads pretty quickly so doing those is not a huge deal.
It is easier to change the calipers with brakes ( and fresh brake fuild) with rotors, then do pads separately.

Remember guys the brake fluid can only take so much, then needs to be replaced. and that is well before the brake pads are worn out.


Teams will have an extended pit stop will after the cameras stop rolling. Normally before dawn and the cameras start rolling for the final day. Change brakes, transmission and diff fluids. In some cases flush out oil with new oil.
