maybe someone can explain how the front driver side pushes down to the ground so quickly? Aero working like this from an angle? Car is straight and then the left front snaps down and flips the car

Weight transfer is most likely the biggest factor not aero. He came very sideways into the jump, when you brake before the jump just a little at that angle, the front left is bound to dive.

On the contrary some people are so overly smart that they can see the first video of the incident and can proclaim imidiatly that it was a car failure.

How ironic, discussing rooky mistake in a thread for "Future Champion".
Tanak is made up hero, his fame comes from social media, rather than actual results.

Crazy... another keyboard warrior. I don't know if you just woke up but Tänak is not a "Future Champion". In fact, he won 2019 WRC World Rally Championship.

And about the rookie mistake, we don't know yet. This was posted before but who didn't see or read, I'll post again. Urmo Aava, the organizer of ERC Rally Estonia, who went to the scene, told this to the rally radio: "I don't really want to comment, they'll speak for themselves. There was an opinion that the car made some strange moves. Probably some surprise with the differential. Otherwise, the pace notes and the driving line were correct." And believe me, he didn't ask from the spectators. And also, if he hadn't heard this from Ott, he wouldn't have speculated this in the media. The section itself is nothing special. Something happened before the jump, was it a compression/bottoming of the car which then unsettled it, we don't know.

Ogier went to Ford and made them champions. Tanak did the same without much success.
One time champ with superior car doesn't make you great.

well im thankful we have social media nowadays, otherwise i wouldnt have heard about this Tänak guy who hasnt achieved anything.

Once again makes you realise how unlucky Craig was..

Eh, it's a mixed bag. Ogier won in the Fiesta that was mainly developed by Tanak. And it's a possibility the easier to handle with larger performance window Puma we see in Fourmaux's hands today is a byproduct of Tanak's feedback from last year.
