Actually having looked at a slighty higher res
video of the incident I think he did a bit better than I initially thought. Yes the touchdown was quite firm but if you look carefully he actually manages to hold the landing gear strut off the runway for most of the landing role on the hard, only letter it drop once on the grass. The braking does seem quite severe but could have been a deliberate attempt to get onto the grass quickly so the strut wouldn't scrape on the runway.
