Corner entry deceleration issues for RBR persist.
#F1 cars 'brake' in several ways. There's the hydraulic brakes, hybrid braking and engine braking. All affect how the car slows & rotates into a turn. From inputs at the pedals, calculated by the ECU.

Simply lifting off the throttle gives engine braking. This map can be varied from the steering wheel button (EB or Torque). Altering the throttle/fuelling at that moment.
More EB (up to a point) gives stability/understeer. Less EB gives more rotation.

Confusing things more are the differential settings, that gave a similar balancing effect on corner entry.
Pressing the brake pedal is now a complex process. The pedal normally only works the front brakes. The rear brakes are drive-by-wire
The pedal pressure and brake bias setting set the rear brake demand. The ECU will deliver that based on the hybrid regen & rear brakes thru the BBW

On corner entry the driver has to rely on these being set to their liking and working predictably.
Any issues and the car spins or locks up.
