Penultimate-lap move around the outside of Blanchimont this wasn't.
"I couldn't do anything" implies that Pier Guidi was essentially napping - what did he expect Christensen to do into the final corner with an LMP2 compromising his entry? That in itself seems ridiculous, it would have been the perfect time to send one up the inside.
In making a decision that benefitted the racing, the race control may have made a rod for their own backs here. On the website, the GTE-Pro result is the only one confirmed as provisional, so I suspect there will be afters. Not a good look to see a championship decided away from the track.
