shocked ex-Formula 1 driver David Coulthard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton grew increasingly frustrated with Ferrari\u2019s strategy during the second half of Sunday\u2019s race at Zandvoort, especially when he ended up being stuck behind team-mate Charles Leclerc, who was running a different strategy and on older tyres.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGreat way of wasting time guys, good job,\u201d Hamilton said sarcastically in response to Leclerc pitting after being held up by his team-mate for two laps.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The seven-time world champion felt that the lost time ultimately cost him a place on the podium as he ended up finishing just behind the Mercedes of George Russell, who was aided by a late virtual safety car as he fended off his former team-mate for third.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure> <source

I take responsibility for that, and I&#8217;ll be better. That passion comes from believing in this team, the people in it, and what we\u2019re building together. The direction is clear.

Prix.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"body\">\n<p>Lewis Hamilton\u2019s furious outburst over the radio at his Ferrari team during the Dutch Grand Prix shocked ex-Formula 1 driver David Coulthard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton grew increasingly frustrated with Ferrari\u2019s strategy during the second half of Sunday\u2019s race at Zandvoort, especially when he ended up being stuck behind team-mate Charles Leclerc, who was running a different strategy and on older tyres.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGreat way of wasting time guys, good job,\u201d Hamilton said sarcastically in response to Leclerc pitting after being held up by his team-mate for two laps.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The seven-time world champion felt that the lost time ultimately cost him a place on the podium as he ended up finishing just behind the Mercedes of George Russell, who was aided by a late virtual safety car as he fended off his former team-mate for third.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure> <source
