There was more to it than that, he wouldn't have 'damaged' his tyres just by doing what he did, but he would have had less grip until they were cleaned off. He got a poor start because of the dirty tyres and got bogged down and hit by Bruno Spengler going into turn 1 forcing him to retire. If he had got thriough turn 1 in one piece he would still have been in about 5th place and in a good position to finish well.

Jamie Green, Salzgitter AMG-Mercedes (retired): “This was a frustrating end to a weekend which in the beginning looked really promising. I realised the problem with the engine electronics already on the formation lap when I suffered from wheelspin. However, that’s motor racing. I now look forward to the next race at the Lausitzring in three weeks."
