I wondered about that, too, but if you watch the videos all the way through you'll see that besiktas initially did most of the attempts with both hands on the wheel. Then he starts to do it with his right hand off--I wondered why, but then I realized he was likely using his right hand to pull the e-brake to initiate the slide...
