The Nürburgring is a treacherous track. No PlayStation playground.
The 4C driver racing it clearly unprepared for the first time ever with the express attitude "I wanted to show off a little", was a red flag. The steering wheel hand positioning of the 4C driver was also a red flag (didn't know the importance of the 9 and 3 o'clock positioning). Almost losing control at Kleines Karussell (Schwalbenschwanz) was a humbling warning he failed to heed.
Of course easy for all of us to point this out from our comfortable seats. We all can crash. But overconfidence ("I wanted to show off a little") on a treacherous race track was a big part of the equation here.
