late braking
Delaying the slowdown
Late braking is a racing technique where a driver delays applying the brakes until the last possible moment before a turn, carrying more speed deeper into the corner than opponents.
It's a high-risk overtaking maneuver that requires precise judgment: brake too late and you miss the apex or run wide.
He pulled off a late braking move into turn one to take the lead.
