Speculation at the time suggested that a sensor issue had resulted in the wrong tire being changed; this suggestion was later confirmed by Vasselon after the race.

“They picked up a puncture which the sensors in the car have already detected,” he told Sportscar365.

“They have detected the wrong tire, so it told the team that it was the front-right, but it was the rear-left.

“So we changed only the front-right, and then when they restarted, we realized immediately that the puncture tire was still on the car. This is why he did the second lap slow.”
Still finding it a bit odd. It sounds more like a software issue and the wrong sensor ID was associated with the wrong corner.
