He says himself he saw the cloud way early, but didn't slow enough...

And you can't "counter steer" with your wheels locked up. You are at the mercy of physics for the most part. Only once he let off the brakes was there any level of control.
He was so close to that tire wall, though - if he hadn't hit the brakes his wheels might have still been spinning enough to drag him forward a bit more, right into the wall. I was scoffing at his description in the thread before I watched the video, thinking that he'd gone off still facing the track. "Pffft. Why'd he hit the brakes like that?" But there doesn't seem to have been much else to do.

But yeah, he should have just slowed down more.
