Sorry don't agree. He had 2 full seconds to react and did nothing. If he was out of control due to tap on the barrier then why did he not lift and why was there no steering input? He just kept his foot in and went straight into the foam blocks.
He might be tapped the foam barrier but that doesn't make any difference. There's 2 full seconds before the impact for him to decide what to do, where he takes literally no action and make no attempt to avoid it. The beauty of the open car and above camera view is you can see exactly what he was doing, or rather in this case, what he wasn't doing. Absolutely zero awareness of why was going on and just floored it into solid objects.
The concrete blocks I refer to are protecting the light gantry on the exit of that corner. Every other car which ran wide there has hit those (Kanaan and Massa yesterday, Helio almost did today). If he managed to miss the concrete blocks that everyone else is hitting then he has his corner trajectory completely different to everyone else's. You shouldn't be running wide that far down the road.
Whether he ran wide or not doesn't matter. He didn't even try and avoid the accident. I think it's far more likely he completely forgot if he was meant to cross the track or not. And the weird interview he did afterwards where he stood there with a blank look on his face, suggests he also had no idea what he was meant to be doing.
