Assuming you and Racerboy have brand new and performing brake fluid in there? Boiling fluid not only cause fade, it also create 'random' energy distribution on the pads & rotors. Vibration and/or warping can occur.

When brake/vibration issues occurs in the pits here, the first thing the boys does is checking mechanical run-out, flushing out the fluid and slamming in new rotors. Pads is the last thing on their list (I think). They normally link pads/compounds to breaking performance, not vibrations.

Annoying bug you guys got there :/ Hope you sort it out... can't imagine what it feels like coming in a hairpin at speed with a compromised breaking system. I'd pee myself I think
