Lewis Hamilton Critiques Ferrari's Team Orders During Dutch GP

During the Dutch Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton criticized Ferrari for not implementing team orders to assist him in overtaking Charles Leclerc, who was slower on the track. Hamilton, who finished fourth, found himself behind Leclerc after passing McLaren's Oscar Piastri on lap 35, but was unable to gain an advantage due to the absence of team orders.

Hamilton's sarcastic remark about wasting time highlighted his frustration as he watched Mercedes execute a successful team strategy, allowing George Russell to yield second place to Kimi Antonelli, who had fresher tires. Despite Hamilton's efforts, he could not catch up to the podium positions, finishing behind Russell and Antonelli.

Hamilton noted that the time lost while trailing Leclerc affected his chances of a podium finish, especially after a virtual safety car incident late in the race. He emphasized the need for Ferrari to improve its engine power to compete effectively with Mercedes, despite recent chassis upgrades aimed at closing the performance gap.
