Message	on you because the brakes obviously slow the front tires more than the rears. In general, you should actually accelerate in the turn to give more traction to the rear tires. By letting off the throttle (and not depressing the brake), you emphasize the front tires. Experienced drivers can thus use the throttle to emphasize the front or rear tires selectively to optimize traction and velocity in turns. I am not that good, so I brake before the turn, choose my line, and then accelerate out from the apex to the far side of the track to pull me through it.
