You're overdriving the front end plus you're being greedy with the throttle. Be more gradual with the throttle, especially in slow speed corners. In high DF cars like this, and the F1, it can be surprising how late you're actually supposed to pick up the throttle. To keep from overdriving the front end so much, apex a bit later and slow a tiny bit more. You're getting off the brake a bit too soon, and you're not braking quite hard enough when the downforce is helping you.
Here's a 1:31.145 lap in the fixed setup for reference:

As for specifics,
In turn 1 you look really good.
On the uphill, try to follow the final apex curb a little longer than you currently are. Distance is everything through there with the HPD.
In carousel, brake a bit harder - you just carried a bit too much speed.
In the laces of the boot, brake a little harder initially and bleed out of the pressure as you slow until you meet up with the brake pressure you used in the replay for the whole thing. Hold that trail brake a fraction longer. You can really see how the front end was squirming because it didn't quite get enough weight put on it initially. That's what caused you to back out of the throttle on the exit. That fraction more trail brake would put you at a slightly higher angle at the apex and make the exit effortless.
In the toe, your brake pressure looks okay, but you barely breathed on the brake as you entered. It's a very heavy trail braking corner. You have banking so really load that front end.
Same thing for the heel, only it's not as heavy of a trail brake, but it's still significant.
In turn 9 you felt the car hook up and backed out. You want that hooky feeling coming off it. Just be gentler with the throttle and it won't bite.
Turn 10, you lifted after you turned in. Be preemptive, and lift before you turn. Once you get it dialed in, then you can really start blending things together and lift while beginning to turn.
Turn 11 was just too early on the throttle. That pickup point is probably fine, as long as you hold maintenance throttle for a bit longer (don't accelerate).
What kind of things have you done to the setup?
