How much of that +280kg of brake force is generated by G-forces of braking itself?
A portion of the drivers lower body weight multiplied by the braking acceleration makes it through to the pedal as extra load.
What we could say it a "heavy foot"
I read somewhere that the size of the master cilinder and leverage is regulated, as is the ban on powered brakes. That is why we still see (slight) difference in braking between drivers, raw power with the ability to come of the pedal gradually if downforce drops.
I remember training for single seater brakes with a scale up the wall, pushing it with my left leg, sitting with my feet up against the wall, up to 100kg+ and within a second or two bringing it back to 70 kg. It was hellish
