Maybe a crap question but it's NOT Spam

If an F1 car brakes at a force of 5g does that mean an F1 car is self-braking.

Once the pedal has been pressed the pedal and foot would be pushed at 5g towards the front of the car pressing the pedal even more. If you include the drivers leg in that you would have (20kg x 5) 100kg pushing the pedal without the driver pressing down, seeing as they are in a more or less laying down position.

That's been bugging me for years......
