I like how the one dude tried to stop the car with his bare strength and sheer will like Superman.

The french announcer in the video says at the end.

Thankfully...no one was hurt in this accident!

He didn't say anothing about the ferrari tough..

wow, that's something. If you look you'll see that indeed he is turning the wheel to the right, but on the other angle, the wheels stay going straight.

Look at the vid, last part, it shows the wheels turning but the car going straight. Looks like understeer to me.
