That is to say a bit more loaded BW is creating lower pressure region above the diffuser working it harder ie generating more DF which on other side dictated stiffer suspension to keep proper height, if I am connecting all these stuff correctly
Yes, exactly. It's very small differences, but they are there
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

Is there evidence of teams running big BW and smaller rear wings? It always seems like the rear wing level sort of matches somewhat the BW.

novice Q :

Is there any scenario where BW is small/weak and RW is mid/mid-high/high loaded ?

Typically a novice like me imagines that the only reason the BW has to be in a smallish/weak avatar is to limit drag, whilst sacrificing efficiency of the diffuser, which in turn means sacrificing the 'main downforce'. So whenever BW is small/weak, inadvertently the RW has to be low, not even low-mid.
