Yeah, I'm "that guy" - I quoted myself. LOL.

But it might be relevant in that today there are reports / rumours that the RB (or at least Max's car) had a differential braking system installed on the rear axle, that was discovered and removed after China (coincidentally when we saw some performance reductions from his car).

The conjecture was an asymmetric braking valve operated by G forces, that allowed more brake force (fluid) to travel to the inside rear caliper, thus improving rotation. Great idea. I have no idea if this is fact or not. Coincidentally (so I have read in posts) this exact system is now banned as of the summer break this year.
