the driver couldve compensated for that, dumb shit turned into the roll, encouraging it. I watched the video many times and everytime i still think the way the car started to roll i think he couldve compensated for it and atleast not rolled the car. He wouldve still F'ed it up and the the wall though. Nice vid.

That "dumb sh*t" is a Formula 1 driver -- despite his mistake, he's a better driver than you and I put together. Watch the video again. The car goes into terminal understeer while still on the track, and he dials in a ton of steering lock to try to correct. This was his mistake. As soon as he hits the dirt, the outside front tire digs in and the car begins to rotate; at this point, the rollover becomes inevitable.
Remarkable how well the car held up...

He went in way to hot...I wonder if something went wrong with the brakes.
Anyways, good thing for the tire barrier...I sure know how rolling a car feels. The car definitely did what it was supposed to in the crash.

I think maybe he is a great driver in the purpose built F1 cars and such where everything is dialed in just right. But just doesnt have alot of experience with ordinary cars and their bad handling characteristics. ?

He was only an F1 driver for a few days when this happened. Later that week he wrote off one of Jag F1 cars too, not a great way to start out.
That guy riding shotgun was mad cool, if it had been me in that car I'd ask if Pazzonia was okay, and as soon as he said "yeah," I'd jack his ass.
