You had to add steering input because the line you were driving was going to take you off course. Adding that steering input pushed the car into oversteer, your VSC probably stopped you from spinning out before you dropped a wheel. Once you dropped the wheel off, it was beyound what VSC could save.
I don't think he was going too fast through the corner. VSC was not stopping the slip angle (it allows some slip).

What did happen, IMO, is that he got nervous as a result of the slip angle, and eased up on turning compared to what he would normally do, which ultimately resulted in a 2 off. The increased velocity doesn't help.
