The warmup lap is also(more so) done to get heat into the tyres-which is even more crucial than the brakes.
Yes surely it is. But the topic was on brakes. 
Pankaj I disagree with whats written on wikipedia (especially the Formula 1 tyres and for braking also to a certain extent). Now F1 cars use slicks which is mentioned only in the last line. And about braking, it says Montreal (Canada)'s track needs a braking of 5.5g which isn't true. The actual statement should be
A modern F1 car can achieve 5.5g under braking whereas even a high-performance road car will probably not reach 1g.

There is no mention of intermediate and wet tyres as well.
I tried this and I had understeer, I tried that and I had oversteer, at the end of the corner I just ran out of talent!
