Staying in it or at least getting back on the throttle at nearly any point would have been the only way to save it. That car could have taken those curves flat.

Yeah we hear him let off the power clearly. At this time the car is continuing on its trajectory with no power to the rear wheels and its just going straight in the direction the weight wants to, which unfortunately is no longer the way the car is pointed.
Driver needed to stay on the power, and not even that much of it with 1-2 straight line corrections.
I don't think foot on brake would have saved him from the first curve. Maybe afterwards the tree, depending on how much damage was already done.
