Vettel made an impetuous bid to outbrake the Finn going into Turn 1 at the start of the 49th lap

For Frank et al.:

"to stifle" would be my choice

As for "to outbrake," I don't think that's correct. I know it to mean something a bit different, like here:

The term to describe when one rider overtakes a rival by braking later going into a corner.

That's not quite the sense the OP was looking for, imo.
