Narrative:
Upon rollout and exiting runway 5-10 KTS; left brake failed and plane turned to right and tipped over onto left wingtip; damaging left wing as it spun to the right. Cause: each time I land; usually in front of B757 or private jet; asked to keep up 'best speed' and to turn off earliest time. Use brakes more than usual and went through brake pad.
