Your front brake rotors are warped. Time for brakes

Isambard is an unknown quantity at this point
Most likely your discs are warped yes. But there could also be contributing factors such as worn thrust arm bushes, sway bar links, control arm bushes etc etc. Have a stab at the 'search' button. There are numerous posts regarding this and similar issues.
