How do drivers in formula one cars brake?

Answer 1

Formula One cars have a brake pedal, just like any other car. But the brake system as a whole is more powerful and a lot more finicky than what you'd find in a regular car, allowing a skilled driver to brake harder and later if needed.

Answer 2

Outbraking someone in racing is where you brake very late into a corner to try and keep as much speed on the exit, therefore gaining an advantage.
