   Brake graphics

   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.
