We do have to remember that AMR made the switch back to Michelin very late in the run up to the 2018 season after testing on both Dunlop and Michelin back to back, and got little testing before the start of the season to fully optimize the car for the new Michelin tires for '18/19. Or at least that's what it seemed and felt like to me from the outside looking in.
Also probably explains in part their struggles at LM in '18 (had speed in the corners and in braking, and was gentle on tires, but had a lot of drag down the straights) and '19 (had single lap pace and good top speed, but couldn't keep the tires fully under them during a long run).
