Bigger rotors do give the caliper much more leverage to work against the
spinning wheel. You can easily set up your own experiment with a spinning
bike wheel and see what I mean. What do you think is easier to grab and stop,
near the hub or near the rim? Also the rotor and pad material used in F1 is
so exotic we cant even begin to relate a tenth of the physics going on there
and apply it to our street cars.
While watching some Tarmac rally last year I remember in a tech sidebar they
were talking about putting the largest brakes they could fit under the wheel
in order to cope with the extra braking needed. I put more stake in a WRC
engineer than a guy racing most anything in the US let alone a Saturn.
