The genius solution to F1's brake dust problem

Founded in 2012 and headed by Christophe Rocca-Serra and Jean-Louis Juchault, Tallano Technologies offers an innovative solution for capturing at the source fine particles generated by the braking of vehicles. Aware of the public health problem that these emissions represent for the body and the environment, Tallano Technologies aims to revolutionise the way in which the automobile industry and public transport operators combat fine particle emissions.

Brake dust is a common sight in F1. Those clouds of black dust that explode from the wheels when a driver is braking heavily for a corner or pulling into their pitbox are part and parcel of grand prix racing.
But should they be? That’s a question that four-times world champion Sebastian Vettel raised this year when he complained about breathing in carbon dust, which was visible on his face and fireproofs, and describing it as not that healthy.
He attributed this to the rule changes for 2022, specifically the brake duct geometry that, direct the brake dust at the driver. This is also exacerbated by the return of wheelcovers in F1 for the first time since 2009.
So does Vettel have a point, is this really a new problem and what could F1 do to tackle it?
