Lewis Hamilton admitted that he got carried away in Zandvoort.
During the race in Zandvoort, Lewis Hamilton expressed his dissatisfaction over the team's slowness in radio communications, as they did not immediately instruct Charles Leclerc to let him pass. After the finish, the seven-time world champion stated that he "lost a few seconds stuck behind Charles," which "were crucial," hinting at a missed podium.
However, by Monday evening, the Ferrari driver posted a message on social media acknowledging that he had overreacted and promised to be more restrained in his comments in the future.
Lewis Hamilton: "It was a challenging weekend, but we left Zandvoort with important points for the team and signs that we are moving in the right direction.
I am incredibly proud of everyone working at the base and continuing to prepare updates, find extra speed, and help us move forward. Thank you to the entire team at the track. Your dedication and work never go unnoticed.
We still have a lot to do, especially with qualifying speed, but we will continue to work, learn, and get better together.
I reviewed some of my radio communications and comments on television. In the heat of the race, emotions and frustration can sometimes take over, especially when you care so much about the team's fate. But in that moment, I did not present myself in the best light. I acknowledge my mistake and will strive to ensure it does not happen again.
These emotions arise because I believe in the team, in the people who work here, and in what we are creating together. The direction is right, the belief in success remains, and we are still determined to fight until the end.
Thank you for continuing to support us and me. We will keep developing, working, fighting, and moving forward. We will show ourselves again."
