Brakes to help overtaking

[slipstream 1985]

So many tracks it is hard to pass and braking zones are so short now due to the amazing grip and power of the brakes. Since they are pretty much a standard part (brembo I believe?) why not spec a much worse performing brake that will increase the braking zones which would help overtaking?

It wouldn't cost much maybe even less.
Thoughts?

I agree however every team I believe outsource the brakes. Did Toyota not try to design inhouse brakes when they first entered and wasted millions before reverting to what everyone else was using.

Um, well, if everyone has the same brakes then they can all brake at the same points... The same way they do now.....

Yes but a longer braking zone will open up more overtaking as instead of a short stab where you might not think of a dive a longer distance and time spent declerating might encourage a few more manouvers.
