    Up until this race (I believe), whenever the graphic overlay showing
    speed and gear and throttle and brake (etc.) was displayed, while the
    throttle application always showed the gradual increase of throttle out
    of the corner, the brake graphic as always just off or on. Despite
    having the same graphic style as the throttle thermometer, it was only
    none or full that was ever displayed.

    Well that has now changed.

    Finally, when they show the overlay, the brake thermometer shows the
    gradual easing off of the brakes as the car turns in, and you can see
    just how deep into the corner they trailbrake.

    It only confirms what I already knew...

    ...but it's still neat that we're now being allowed to see it.

    I have to believe that this was something the teams weren't willing to
    let others see, and that maybe they've finally realized that it's not as
    big a secret that deep trailbraking is the way to go.

    That's really cool - I'm going to watch for this.
