Mark thanks for correcting my typical mistakes. I will make an effort not to add anymore contributions here and sidebar my conversations where they do the most good. I just don't have the time in the day anymore to waste.

I think this video sums it up. he is hustling. he is threashold braking, sometimes he even gets it a lttle wrong, but nothing that stops his progress by putting in some steering input on the exit under WOT to correct. the brakes are on or the of off. Its a brutal assalt on the track, and thats what it takes to be fast.

I'm still struggling with one gear at a time. that was what 5 gears, one
distinctly after another and major contortion of the legs. Wish I could have seen his feet.
I'm hopeless.

Do you have access to pedal-pressure data from this lap? No? Oh. Perhaps we could ask the driver whether he ever modulates or feathers-off the brake pedal. My guess is the answer would be yes.
But what do I know.

My advice to the OP: take note that all the advice in this thread is well-reasoned and basically unanimous, except that kibort has to disagree with everything, as usual. Ignore him. He enjoys turning these discussions into **** sandwiches.
Like others have said, it's fine to brake early and soft if it helps your corner entry speed (except if you're racing someone into the corner and/or you're a pro racer). And left-foot-braking is a very good skill to have... I suspect I get a few tenths or more from using it.

And how, pray tell, do you presuppose to know from this video that "the brakes are on or the [sic] of [sic] off"?

The idiocracy is strong with this one....

Wow,
The ability to drive this thread off the rails is amazing. It was a simple question, but I was not expecting the divisive comments. Take a pill folks!!
From what I can gather there are many possible things going on and the advice given has provided me with a lot to think about. For that, thanks!
