Analog face buttons suck so much that I had to use a PS1 controller to brake properly in Gran Turismo 4.

It's not right to always brake at 100% (which is what I'm assuming happens with non-pressure sensitive controllers)...

Watch the telemetry of a F1 race. They always brake 100%. The problem was that I had to press very hard to brake 100%, and since the game doesn't allow you to calibrate the buttons...

Can I get a video of an F1 race? I'm not too familiar with that sport, so maybe they're allowed to use ABS. But any car without ABS will lock its wheels if you brake too hard, and the driver does not want that.

ABS have been banned in F1 since 1994, I think. You can see them locking the brakes in races. Qualifying example:

Edit: They use carbon brakes which are almost impossible to control with the pedal. Of course they calibrate the brakes accordingly to each track.

What does that mean? And I didn't really see the wheels locking in that video. When did it happen?

With carbon brakes, you brake... or don't. There's no middle term.

If you want to see brakes locking (at 1:01):
