they actually size those things up according to the track they use
smaller for low brake tracks such as Spa
bigger for tracks like Monaco

they take up 1.5% of the total drag on the car, so it's a big penalty if they go to big
there's also the problem of cold ceramic brakes if they have to much cooling on the long highspeed tracks...
