Question:
Brake bias adjustment in F1?

I notice F1 drivers change the brake bias adjustment on the steering wheel sometimes, and I remember reading about whether they were moving it to the front or rear depending on fast or slow corners but can't remember which it was. Does anyone know generally if they adjust it more forwards/backwards for the long braking slow corners such as Bahrain's 1st, and the opposite for the quicker, braking and turning corners?

For harder braking zones, the ideal is to have the brake balance geared towards the front of the car, but without too much as this could cause the car to spin... somewhere round a 60:40 ratio to the front is normal, of course it all depends on the style of the driver...
