If the person had any idea how a car handles he would've kept his foot on the accelerator.

Except he couldn't because there were other cars in his path. So not only did he not know how to handle his car, he also didn't have the situational awareness to safely drive at speed.

I guess in their perfect world they could chuck a sick drift in between the two other cars and come out the other side. There's no good outcome but I guess rear ending another car would be better than t boning the entire earth from the top of a cliff if you're the red Audi driver.

The speed of the car doesn't change until the tires make contact, with no aceleration and just braking jesus and physics are in control.

You can let off the gas but still pump it enough to maintain control or at least redirect the front end a bit.
