I dont think any teams use capacitors for energy storage. Effective "supercapacitors" are still a dream for power storage at this level.
Most teams will be using some form of Lithium polymer cells ( Ferrari are know to use SAFT cells) which are able to store & "dump" the 60kw effectively in the 6 secs or so required.
However , recharging is a little more tricky as power cannot be adsorbed as rapidly ( 2 -5 times longer than discharge) so every available second of braking period is required to recharge during the lap.
