Unlucky, but not the end of the world. It'll dry out.

If you can afford to buy / own one, you can afford to fix it.... just ask every Veyron owner who has crashed their car.

I don't drive so maybe I'm missing something, but how did he lose control while going in a straight line?

He accelerated on gravel. With no grip the slightest turn becomes a full sweeping spin. Very easy to do.

The part where he accelerated was also bumpy, moving the car side-to-side slightly. If you lose rear traction, your car can be spun around from the bumps. You can also hear him come completely off the gas when his car lost traction, and that puts more weight on the front tires, which can exacerbate oversteer.

No it is not, it is a regular Enzo, that he took to Germany and had it look like an FXX.

I met the guy a couple times at the Formula 1 race. Super nice guy, what i like about him is that he DRIVES his car, that Enzo has miles on it, definitely not a garage queen.

This is why traction control exists.
