Could be this unusual mass distribution one of the reasons that made the rear of the car so unstable during braking in wet conditions?

Seems all spins were on straights and so with good downforce load, and before braking... Di Grassi is striking, no wheels on different kind of pavement, and none other car aquaplained there ... seems a rear differential and or suspension issue.
Don't know how weight distribution... if could help anything... could had balanced this off. To me different suspension springs and or shock absorbers will be ordered. Also i don't know if a Torsen differential is allowed and or if they had one... i don't think so for either... Audi is famous for Torsen differentials on rallies, and if they had one doubt any spin would had occurred.
