One cause of warped brake discs is keeping your foot on the brake pedal after the car has stopped when the discs are very hot (such as following a long hill descent). Heat cannot escape from the part of the disc clamped by the caliper. This remains hotter than the rest of the disc which is exposed to air, resulting in warping.
