“We tried a different strategy with George to give him some breathing space and the ability to pressurize the cars in front of us,” said Robson. “Unfortunately, he couldn’t find enough pace on the prime tire to make much progress, even though the car worked reasonably well.
“But after tamping on new tires on the first safety car, he was in a good position when the ancestors started struggling with their older tires. Unfortunately, the second safety car and the subsequent race suspension gave all cars the opportunity to put on fresh tires for the last two lap sprints to the checkered flag. “
