It's a very complex situation, and I'm not an expert, but I feel like the big piece of the body that was right in front of the driver may have exacerbated the fireball that seemed to be concentrated behind the piece of bodywork, like it was in a vortex or disturbed or calmer air behind that "wall" which allowed or caused the fire to concentrate seemingly right on the driver (doesn't seem very safe).
