- ‘We’re going to be fighting for a win and that’s amazing’
- Hamilton sorry for angry response to team after coming fourth
Lewis Hamilton has insisted he can still fight for a win this season after his performance at the Dutch Grand Prix, despite his anger and frustration at his Mercedes’ team strategy call that cost him a shot at victory in Zandvoort.
The seven-time champion delivered several expletive-heavy messages to his team as his race in the Netherlands fell apart, dropping him from the lead to finish fourth . He later apologised to his team and the race was won by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen but for the first time this season Mercedes’ original tactical plan and pace had put Hamilton in with a shout of taking a victory.
