these cars run a floating disk which causes the pads to move slightly away from the disks it gives them a better brake pedal they're not going wipe off bugger all speed at 200 plus k's that close to the corner
It's basically done to check they have brake pressure.
They're taught to tap the brakes so if there's a problem they can try to wipe off speed early, instead of getting to the corner at 200km/h and realising they have low or no brakes.
@itsdamo1993 it brings heat to the brake pads

@ kirsconz, floating discs were designed to reduce knock-back. He's just tapping the brakes to make sure that he still has brake pressure.

Ok. I haven't understood that part at 1:15 because I'm not a native speaker and the Australian accent isn't that easy ;-)

No, like the commentator says at 1:15 it's a "confidence dab"
They're making sure the brake pedal is still there and has pressure.

What is the sense of pushing the break for just a half of a second before breaking hard into the curve?
