What I saw is he didn't rev match well under hard braking, locked up the rear wheels and spun. That particular turn at VIR you brake very late at the end of the straight and there is a slight kink. That can unsettle the car a bit.

Tall, sticky, pillow tires combined with the suspension / ride height took that car over.

Human error caused it, the specifics of his car setup finished it.

JMHO.
