He lost brakes. When that happens you want to early apex and stay on the track as long as possible. He tried to scrub off as much speed as he could which is what you want to do. He probably shaved off 30-40mph by doing what he did.

Glad he is OK.

Having fresh brake fluid (racing fluid) and good pads for big track stuff is very important.
