📻 Hamilton: “This is the biggest ” #F1 #DutchGP #Motorsport
The radio call came after Hamilton saw his late lead quickly disappear as Max Verstappen won his fourth consecutive Formula 1 title.
Hamilton and teammate George Russell got a yellow flag for the top two in Sunday’s race, but Russell opted to pit while Hamilton stayed off the field. There was no rift between Verstappen and Hamilton at the restart, with the pair switching positions within seconds. Hamilton couldn’t keep up with the old tires and dropped to fourth, while Russell finished second. Aside from a problem with strategy, Russell nearly bumped Hamilton to overtake him in the final laps :Formula 1@F1LAP 64/72

Lewis Hamilton has every right to be angry with Mercedes. If the team wants to win, no matter what. Of course, the decision was good for Russell, but not for the team as a whole. Resulting in a simple Max dub.
It’s been a disappointing season for Hamilton, who is sixth in the drivers’ standings this year without a win.
The British star has seven world championships and has never been lower than second in the finals standings since 2013 name, but this season is a different story. He has only six podium finishes in 15 races, and last week’s Belgian Grand Prix ended after a collision with Fernando Alonso on the first lap.
With his Mercedes team-mate now missing out on winning the Dutch Grand Prix, Hamilton’s Frustration seems to be boiling over.
