ok the reason he taps the brakes with his left foot while on the gas is to preload the brakes so he has a positive feel when braking. if you were to go from one hard braking imediately to another you will notice that your brake pedal nearly drops to the floor and you lose the braking feel. if you are to double tap your your brakes the pedal feels higher up and you have your brake feel back. he taps the pedal just enough to get ready for the next corner but not enough to slow the car if you watch he does it just before he is about to brake for a corner. racers do this to just before every corner to have good brake feel and power. watch some german touring car , lemans, rolex sports car series, or japanese touring car series. you will see that almost all of the drivers do this. try it in your own car if you have power brakes you will notice the difference.

hope that answers your question.
