Wheelie bars wouldn't have saved him. Once you get that much lift under the car, it's going up in the air either way.
And not 200mph... Something triggers the 1/8 mile lights (either the bumper mid flight or debris, it's hard to tell) at 117KM/H and the other car was at 169KM/H. So he was somewhere in that range when he went airborne. The track is in Bahrain, so the speeds are not MPH.
