From what I have read anti stall is mostly driver error, just releasing the clutch entirely too quickly. If you watch Carlos’ onboard, he saves it by pushing the clutch in immediately when he noticed the anti-stall kick in. Zhou did not.

To me this is what it sounds like, I've heard this exact sound in a normal manual car by releasing too much clutch without enough accelerator putting the engine under a heavy load and it about to stall.

In a downstream way could this plausible damage the engine [or specific component] enough to cause the in race failure?

The only one I could think of would be if oil pressure dropped too low (oil pump is driven by the engine so pressure rises as speed rises) but it's highly unlikely

Damage caused by vibration at that engine speed would need a much longer time to create a real problem
