I'm not convinced that it was all carbon brake related. There was an oil down in that lane a couple of pairs before, and in the slo mo it sure looks like he has his hands full with the car wagging its tail right at or in the lights. There's also a couple of puffs of smoke from around the car at that point too, like residual dust from the cleanup. Usually a brake lockup results in an instant hard turn, and in this case it looks like a few moves back and forth before it turns left.
