Hamilton apologises to Ferrari after Dutch GP radio frustration

Lewis Hamilton publicly apologised to Ferrari after his frustration spilled over on team radio during the Dutch Grand Prix. He said the comments were "not the best version of me" and took accountability for what he said.

Hamilton’s frustration increased in the second half of the race. The issue centred on a lack of strategy updates from Ferrari, especially when he became stuck behind team-mate Charles Leclerc.

Reports said Leclerc was slower than Hamilton at that stage, with Hamilton on newer tyres and Leclerc on older tyres. Hamilton also said he wants to be better after the incident.
