Pedal felt like sponge. It worked to some very small extent and then when I pushed it to the floor it didn't do much (ABS didn't kick-in despite pedal being stuck in floor and I wasn't being ejected from seat like usually am - breaking force was significantly reduced). I also didn't really feel any smell of burnt pads. Thus I believe it may be related to fluid. I've seen that some crappy brake fluids have boiling points around 250°C which is really likely to be exceeded by my brakes during more spirited driving.
