Yep, it works both ways but i'm still gutted it'll look like an F1 car, even if they do manage to keep the overtaking as good as it has been. I know Lotus tested steel brakes on an F1 car some years ago, and they found what you have described, it didn't really make that much difference in power, the main reason for carbon is weight.

As i said before, i hope i'm wrong...
