There were a bunch of angles shown on Sky Sports after the sprint. He shut the rear wing while turning at the same time, and the rear immediately stepped out. Not sure if he even began braking at that point. My guess is that rearward wind might’ve been involved, seeing as the drivers complained about it all weekend.
Edit: replay here at 0:50 is the best angle, it’s also been shown in the post-race analysis.
The rear wing was closed long before he locked the rears. He was too close to the car in front and the aero wash lost all his downforce and he braked too hard. This is what the new aero regs are trying to reduce.
Sorry for the previous reply, perhaps I misunderstood what you’re saying. Indeed, from what I’ve seen braking was not the issue, he lost the rear right after slapping the wing closed and turning the car, likely before he started braking.
