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!
