What did you want him to do?
Looks like the front wheels lost grip and very slow speed, he was on full lock and the brakes all the way over the edge - as soon as the wheels lost grip he was a passenger. I know the F50 doesn't have ABS so maybe he could have done more with the brakes but it looked like he was on an ice rink.
What they doing holding an autotest in such a silly location anyway?

Not fake, seen that on another Fezza site with photos of the car afterwards (The ledge it goes over is into a small service road with some private garages IIRC). It was an autotest in Monaco with prospective owners. Seems it was really wet and he was going a bit too fast, locked the wheels then didnt lift his foot off the peddal when he started sliding.
Nobody (including the marshall who rode the bonnet) was injured.

Defo looks like a broken steering linkage to me. See how many turns he puts on it to absolutely no effect - that is definitely not a loss of traction, it's a loss of steering. No doubt about it - the guy's only doing about 20mph.
Pretty bloody scary I bet, lucky it only happened at 20mph and not 120mph, that could have been nasty!
