how might they cool the carbon fiber brakes??

  In view of what F-1 has become, I'd imagine they would use some sort of
computer-controlled nitrogen injection through the wheel bearings coupled
with a special nitrogen/silicone brake fluid which doubled as a self
activating refrigerant when pressure is applied. AND - - very affordable - -
less than $358,000 per car - - thats for all four wheels!
